THE TRUTH ABOUT GARDEN REMEDIES: WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN’T AND WHY

Book ID/图书代码： 12405008B29269

English Summary/英文概要： Can beer make plants grow? How about buttermilk? Or music—classical or rock? Are you sure about planting trees in deep holes? And how about chasing insects with hot sauce and stopping slugs with eggshells? Remedies for all your garden woes are there for the taking: the challenge is to know what will work and what won’t. Fearlessly conducting original experiments and harvesting wisdom from the scientific literature, horticulturist Jeff Gillman assesses new and historic advice and reveals the how and why—and sometimes the why not—for many common and uncommon gardening practices. The results will surprise even experienced gardeners.

About the Author/作者介绍： Jeff Gillman was born in South Eastern Pennsylvania and spent the first years of his life living on a small orchard in the then rural setting of Pughtown, Pennsylvania. He attended Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Jeff earned his a master’s degree in entomology and his doctorate in horticulture from the University of Georgia. Jeff is an associate professor in the department of Horticultural Science at the University of Minnesota where he teaches graduate and undergraduate classes in nursery management. He also conducts research and gives talks on the production of woody ornamental plants and the use and abuse of pesticides. Throughout his professional career, Jeff has published numerous papers and articles on subjects that range from how plant hairs affect mites, using soluble silicon to combat plant diseases, and using lime in containers, to how to control deer. Jeff has a loathing for information that is passed out without concern for the consequences. Hearing self-proclaimed experts spouting things such as feeding syrup to plants gets him so fired up that he decided to do the research on all those common household remedies and write the tell-all book. When not teaching, conducting research, or participating in numerous master gardener programs in Minnesota and nearby states, Jeff likes to spend time with his four-year-old daughter who involves him in her slug hunting and slug control research. Together they test lint, eggshells, coffee grounds, and other top-shelf ingredients. "But," says Jeff, "that’s another book." Jeff lectures throughout the year and speaks on a wide variety of topics such as homebrewed remedies, organic pesticides, and sprayer and fertilizer calibration techniques. Jeff currently lives in Maplewood, Minnesota where he spends his time growing plants and working on other research projects.
