Book Reviews of The New Seed Starter's Handbook
Book Review: Great book!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After 10 years on a sailboat, my husband and I "swallowed the anchor" and bought a 2 acre farm.
I used to purchased plants from a nursery years ago in Colorado, but after reading this book, I decided to grow my own plants. After reading the book twice, I bought my seeds, fencing, etc. and then decided to make my own "seed-starting and growing system" using snap-together shelving, flourescent lights, disposable nesting pans,plastic shoe boxes and an electric blanket! It took me about a month to put it all together and set it up, but it works like a charm!! If you want to know more, e-mail me at sv_compromise@yahoo.com and I will give you more info on its setup and use. Her tips and tricks are great and I'm sure every gardener, new or accomplished, will enjoy it tremendously.
