    I have been looking for Jerry Baker’s books at a reasonable price for years. This was a great deal and I was able to share them with my sister who is redoing her back yard. I had friends that raved about how great this guy was.

    I liked this book, but it was more for the outdoor critters. I was in need of kitchen critters who think they own the house.

    I’m sending it back, & will try to find something that will work indoors. “Ask the Bugman” will be my next purchase.

    I bought this book for my Aunt several years ago and she loved it. In conversations over time, she shared a lot of the good advice she learned from the book with my husband. He started to write it down on Post-its and scraps of paper so that we could remember what to do in our garden. Too many scraps of paper were lost! I decided that I’d better get him a copy of the book. I gave it to him for his birthday this year, and now our garden is getting the benefit of the great homegrown wisdom in Jerry Baker’s amazing book. It will take a long time to try all of his recipes, but we’re looking forward to reaping the rewards!

    I was very pleased with the variety of information in this book, there were several of the recipes for bugs and fertilizer that I tried and they worked. I love the old ways of doing things.
