Book Description
Winner of the Best Book Award in the 2009 Garden Writers Association Media Awards Named an "Outstanding Title" in University Press Books for Public and Secondary School Libraries, 2009 In this introduction to sustainable landscaping practices, Linda Chalker-Scott addresses the most common myths and misconceptions that plague home gardeners and horticultural professionals. Chalker-Scott offers invaluable advice to gardeners gardeners who have wondered: Are native plants the best choice for sustainable landscaping? Should you avoid disturbing the root ball when planting? Are organic products better or safer than synthetic ones? What is the best way to control weeds-fabric or mulch? Does giving vitamins to plants stimulate growth? Are compost teas effective in controlling diseases? When is the best time to water in hot weather? If you pay more, do you get a higher-quality plant? How can you differentiate good advice from bad advice? The answers may surprise you. In her more than twenty years as a university researcher and educator in the field of plant physiology, Linda Chalker-Scott has discovered a number of so-called truths that originated in traditional agriculture and that have been applied to urban horticulture, in many cases damaging both plant and environmental health.

After reading this book, you will: Understand your landscape or garden plants as components of a living system Save time (by not overdoing soil preparation, weeding, pruning, staking, or replacing plants that have died before their time) Save money (by avoiding worthless or harmful garden products, and producing healthier, longer-lived plants) Reduce use of fertilizers and pesticides Assess marketing claims objectively This book will be of interest to landscape architects, nursery and landscape professionals, urban foresters, arborists, certified professional horticulturists, and home gardeners.

Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
For the Love of Tina is a romantic, playful novel that depicts how a teenage first love that ends before consummation can affect drastically the lives of those two teenagers in adulthood. Cash Banfield felt so guilty about cheating on his first love, Tina Townsend, with her cousin Penny that it caused major flaws in his personality and dating habits. When Cash and Tina first met in junior high, he wrote a poem telling the world she would be his first and only love. That pattern would always continue. Cash would write poetry to describe how he felt about every girl and everything in his life that he considered important. Whether good or bad, serious or humorous, his rhyming words were a barometer of how he felt and reacted in all chapters in his life. Cash was always searching out ladies that could match Tina in looks and fantasized that the sex with these ladies could duplicate the passion he never got to achieve with Tina. As the years passed by, he never gave up hope of winning Tina's affection again but was constantly in search of someone special who could make him forget Tina. At eighteen years old, he left his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, and followed his uncle Matthew to Palm Beach, Florida, where they both were employed at a greyhound racing track. This new atmosphere and freedom gave Cash the money and opportunity to pursue his casual but intense dating rituals with money and beautiful, sexy ladies who found his good looks and insatiable appetite for naughty behavior a pure delight. He found a stripper in a gentleman's club named Vanessa, who surely matched Tina in her looks and her actions. They developed a strong, passionate relationship that lasted for decades and gave him everything he was looking for in a woman except true love. Vanessa would instigate many changes that would influence Cash's life immensely. He developed an addiction for exotic dancers and women who craved for the bright lights, the music, the booze, and the misplaced attention that was given to them by disrespecting male customers. Later on, Cash got a lucrative position as racing secretary at a major horse track in Miami. Now living in fast–paced, sinful Miami with more money and illicit opportunities, his many interesting love interests made his affairs sexy, funny, and sad all at the same time. So join Cash, Tina, Vanessa, and many others in a tongue–in–cheek account of his life, his ladies, and his opinions on life and love – which are unique, interesting, and very amusing.
