A fine book for anyone interested in a nice lawn, 17 Aug 2000
By Brian Darrow - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Building a Healthy Lawn: A Safe and Natural Approach (Paperback)
I was quite starved for information to help me repair drought damage to my front lawn as well as seed a new lawn from scratch in the backyard. I read the book from cover to cover quite quickly and I feel somewhat enlightened. The concepts put forth by Stuart et al for maintaining a healthy lawn are quite simple to understand and execute. Each aspect from choosing a grass type to how to effectively seed and then eventually maintain your lawn is covered in detail in its own chapter. One aspect of the book which I particularly enjoyed was the explanations of exactly what you need to do to cause problems in your yard. I think sometimes its just as important to be informed how to to screw up as it is to do things right. Sometimes people can accidently kill their lawns without the knowledge of exactly what they are doing wrong. The book covers the functions of different chemical approaches to lawn care, but maintains that natural care is the most cost effective and safest way to maintain a lawn in the long term. I was very impressed by the book, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

The best book on lawn care basics and Organic methods., 10 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Building a Healthy Lawn: A Safe and Natural Approach (Paperback)
This book teaches proper lawn care in an extremely easy-to-understand manner. It tells you all about the right and wrong ways of mowing, and how much of a difference it can actually make to the health and appearance of your lawn. It lets you in on the secrets that professional lawn people use. Most importantly, this book tells you how to care for lawns with little or no Pesticides. I think every homeowner with any sense of environmental responsibility should read this book before they mow their lawn again.

This book is phenominal, 6 July 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Building a Healthy Lawn: A Safe and Natural Approach (Paperback)
This book is SUCH an easy read. It explains everything you'd need to know in plain english and gives many real life examples. I've just started to put what I've learned in the book into practice and I can't wait to see the results. Two things would have made this a better book: 1) a tearout that can be used as a quick reference guide and 2) it really could use to be updated. It was written in 1986 and many organic and chemical products have been introduced since then that I would like to get his take on.
