Product Description
Gardeners tend to assume that any organic product is automatically safe for humans and beneficial to the environment—and in most cases this is true. The problem, as Jeff Gillman points out in this fascinating, well-researched book, is that it is not always true, and the exceptions to the rule can pose a significant threat to human health.

    Well, I came to read this book with an open mind, but a little bit of research shows that Jeff Gillman picked his supporting evidence so that it confirms his beliefs and prejudices. If you want accurate and truthful and impartial information, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Too bad. I had hoped to find reliable information.

    I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

    This book was not very in depth, and tended to be very annoying. The author felt it necessary, to summarize the pro’s and con’s of each paragraph. You can read the entire book by just reading these two sentence page summaries. Save your time and money, buy another book.

    Although Gilman might not have intended it, his book goes a long way toward debunking “organics” as a movement while promoting good methods that the “organics” people have adopted.

    It’s very even-handed, no fear-mongering, and very easy to read.

    If you’re buying it to have your ideology verified, you will be disappointed–and not a little ticked off.

    If you want to weigh the pros and cons of very specific gardening methods, then this book is for you.

    These books (there are 2) give good information on the latest growing techniques and soil improvement. Highly recommended.
