Title: Lawn Care for Dummies by Lance Walheim, The National Gardening Association ISBN: 0-7645-5077-2 Publisher: For Dummies Pub. Date: 13 January, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.99 |

Summary: Ok but not great
Comment: The few color pictures are pointless. There is some good information, but the section on revitalizing your lawn is too small. I was looking for a general reference, but they say to aerate but never mention when you should do this (I have read this in other books) and they don't mention other techniques that I have read other places. This book would be pretty good for someone starting from scratch. If you just want to improve your lawn, buy another book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Lots of Good Advice, But Wasted Photos
Comment: This book is an excellent reference on everything you would want to know on how to start, repair or maintain a lawn, but it doesn't answer some really, really basic questions, like "What kind of grass do I have?" The photos are just fluff, and could have been better used to identify grass types, weeds or lawn problems.
Rating: 4
Summary: Great beginning view of lawn possibilities.
Comment: Having never had a lawn before, I needed a very basic, gentle introduction to what it means to have and care for a lawn - and this book delivers just that. It also covers topics I might not have thought about ahead of time, including lawn disease and alternate ground covers. The ambient sense of humor makes what could appear to be a very intimidating project seem more like fun than work. My only objection - the color photos are wasted on shots of random lawns. I would have preferred to see these photos used to show examples that are best viewed, rather than textually described... such as grass types, insect & disease damage, weeds, etc.
Overall, this book has given me a great overview of my entire lawn project, and I can't wait to get started.
