Rezensionen

I've had your first book for 15 maybe 17 years now. It's my Farm Bible. I learned many many things from this book in my beginning. I seriously doubt I could have ever come this far without this publication. Sectioning, phytophthora, rots, fungal control, drainage, planting, etc. etc. Great thanks to you and all those involved. - Pineapple grower, Florida, USA
