The Gardener’s Guide to Common-Sense Pest Control, by William Olkowski, Sheila Daar, Helga Olkowski, and Steven Ash, is back in an updated and refreshed edition (on sale here). The authors had a great deal more information than could be fit into the printed book, so they took the extras online, here on this page.
