About the Book

Covering more than 100 universal gardening "dos and don'ts," Decoding Gardening Advice is the first book to provide gardeners with the real answers. Jeff Gillman, the bestselling author of The Truth About Garden Remedies, and Meleah Maynard back up every good recommendation with sound horticultural and botanical science. Decoding Gardening Advice is the first and only hard-hitting, evidence-based book that every gardener needs for definitive advice on everything from bulbs, annuals, and perennials to edibles, trees, and soil care.

About the Author :
Jeff Gillman is an associate professor in the department of horticultural science at the University of Minnesota, where he researches plant production and teaches courses on nursery management and pesticide use. He earned his doctorate in horticulture and a master's degree in entomology from the University of Georgia.

Review :
"Helpful for novice and experienced gardeners alike, the practical advice here is backed up with interesting popular science and delivered in an engaging format."--Jenny Contakos "Library Journal " ."..veteran gardeners and newly inspired green thumbs alike will learn to question what they're told before they create the vegetable garden, orchard, or suburban lawn of their dreams."--Courtney Sorrell "ForeWord Magazine " "Whether you agree or not, the authors' recommendations and conclusions are explained and summarized. This is one smart, well-organized book."--Virginia A. Smith "Philadelphia Inquirer " "This is a fascinating, entertaining and useful book, written in a format that makes for quick reference."--Mary-Liz Shaw "The Journal-Sentinel " "[B]ogus information spreads like wildfire, especially with the advent of the internet. This handy book gives you the straight scoop on what's good, what's bad and what's iffy in the world of gardening."--Renee Struthers-Hogge "The East Oregonian " "Gillman's book is full of interesting and scientifically backed research. He's a welcome voice of reason amid a growing babble of self-appointed, uninformed gardening 'experts.'"--Susan Banks "The Pittsburg Post-Gazette "
