Annie Novak Proves You Can Grow Anywhere

   Annie Novak does not miss a beat in her "The Rooftop Growing Guide -".  There is numerous reasons outside of lack of space that a gardener may want to transform their roof into a small farm.  Those who live in rural areas, as myself, would be thrilled not to have to contend with the many creatures on the ground - namely moles, rabbits and deer.  Thus I was excited to read this book and gain some new in sight.
  The author suggests to the reader to '"Grow with the Pro's"' stressing to use her book along with the internet to receive latest updates and tips.  This book is a wonderful collaboration of experiences from your common gardener along with professional gardeners as well.  It is packed with information on everything you need to know from getting a permit to setting up a plan.  It is a true asset for all who want to embark on this adventure.  I just can't say enough good things about it.
  I was given the honor of reading for Blogging for Books in exchange for my views.

A Must Have Book for Every Sincere Gardener


  Josie Jeffery has accomplished the near impossible by listing virtually everything a gardener must know to keep critters and pests away from growing plants; how to prevent plant disease and even improve your growing crops flavor all the organic way.  This healthy, stellar approve to gardening is written an easy, understandable words.  She even gives the grower tips on increasing your harvest and flowers.  As a 35 year planter, I only wish I knew half of the information she shares when I had multiple problems.  We were taught the wrong way, to buy sprays and foams to deter insects and small animals which could be harmful in the long-run to humans.  I insist that gardener's read this manual.  She has every subject covered when it comes to growing and you will learn something new. I  had the golden opportunity to read this book from "Blogging for Books" in exchange for my thoughts. For more information on the author and her book click here.
