Great Resource
This book has helped me figure out problems in my yard and garden several times as well as kept me from squashing helpful insects. The book has lots of images and descriptions of insects and plant problems. Sometimes I just flip through looking at the images until I spot something that looks similar to what I'm seeing on one of my plants. Then I can read to see if the image is even more likely what I'm dealing with. If it is, the book provides suggestions for fixing and preventing future problems. Or if it's something that's not a problem, then I know I don't need to do anything about it. Other times, I look up the type of plant I'm seeing the problem on. There aren't photos in the section, but since many pests and diseases affect multiple plants, it doesn't exactly make sense to include images of the same disease or pest over and over again. Besides, if the description under a specific plant sounds like what I'm seeing, I can use the index to look it up and the book usually has a photo of it in either the pests or diseases sections. I am forever grateful to the person who suggested this book.
