More about "Other Secrets" than "Companion Planting", 19 Oct 2001
By prussianette - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roses Love Garlic: Secrets of Companion Planting with Flowers (Paperback)
I was a bit disappointed in this book. There were some references as to what plants complement each other, and what ones are used to repel certain insects, but those references were too few and buried deep within certain textual descriptions of various plants. Many, if not most, plant references did not even have companion planting information. Then there were the chapters referring to cosmetics, fragrances, and skin care that better belonged in a health and beauty aid book. I will be looking for a different book to supply my needs on companion planting--but this time will preview the book at a bookstore or library so I know what I am getting.

Companion planting at its finest, 25 May 2000
By Julia Phippen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roses Love Garlic: Secrets of Companion Planting with Flowers (Paperback)
Roses Love Garlic is a great book for novice and experienced gardeners alike. For the beginning gardener, chapter 19 offers many sample garden plans for both small and large plots. The more experienced gardeners might enjoy chapters 12 and 13 which provide projects involve dried flowers and the use of natural dyes. My personal favorite is chapter 7, "Companion planting with flowers and herbs." This book is a must own for anyone interested in chemical free gardening.

Not as Practical as Corrots Love Tomatoes, 18 Sep 2009
By Noelley B - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roses Love Garlic: Secrets of Companion Planting with Flowers (Paperback)
I'm an extremely practical gardener. My idea of a pretty flower is my eggplants blooming. Having read Carrots love Tomatoes, I was eager to get my hands on Roses as well, imagining all sorts of useful plants with flowers on them. But this book is actually about flowers, the ones people grow just because they're pretty. There's nothing wrong with beauty for beauty's sake, it's just not my style. This book definitely has information that I plan on using, and I highly recommend it for people who actually like flowers on their own.
I wish I could have met Louise Riotte, she seems such a fascinating person from her writings.
Listmania!
