I have liked the authors other books but this one was just too boring for me. If you like gardening, lawns, weeds, fertilizer, mulch, mowing, etcetera, maybe this is the book for you. Leggi recensione completa

Recensione dell'utente - Robyn Severe - Goodreads

Mr. Pollan I think enjoys listening to himself pontificate a bit too much. I just wanted to read a book about making a garden. All in all, I'd say it was boring, a slow read, but had some good bits. Leggi recensione completa
