Sobre este artículo
Portland, OR: Timber Press, 2008 Timber Press, Portland, OR. 2008. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Stated 3rd Printing. Signed by the author on the title page. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light tip bumping. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 208 pp 8vo. We all want a silver bullet; the pesticide that will kill the pests and be safe for humans, animals, insects; the fertilizer that will give enormous tomatoes and cucumbers with no negative environmental side effects. The author gives over 100 garden products and practices-organic and synthetic- and examines each to determine if it is safe and accomplished the task. This book will put you in a position to make choices of what to do. A clean very presentable copy.
Sinopsis
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. To cite just one example, animal manures in compost can be a source of harmful E. coli contamination if imporperly treated. Gillman's contention is that all gardening products and practices—organic and synthetic—need to be examined on a case-by-case basis to determine both whether they are safe and whether they accomplish the task for which they are intended.Ultimately, Gillman concludes, organic methods are preferable in most situations that gardeners are likely to encounter. After reading this eye-opening book, you will understand why, and why knowledge is the gardener's most important tool.
