Roots ain't sexy. But plants need them to be healthy.
Thus I wrote a book about how roots really grow and ways a gardeners can have a better garden via healthy roots - Roots Demystified, Change Your Gardening Habits to Help Roots Thrive.
Check out my web site for more information (sample pages) and how to order: www.robertkourik.com
The book has been listed in Publisher's Weekly. They receive 1500 books per month and only list 450.
The best news came from the Midwest Book Review (one of the top 4 book reviewers for librarians):
“Superbly written and thoroughly 'user friendly', ‘Roots Demystified’ is profusely enhanced with twenty-five illustrative graphics showcasing extraordinary illustrations of excavated root systems in their entirety. A compendium of practical, comprehensive, and exceptionally well organized information, advice, tips, and observations that will benefit novice gardeners and seasoned professionals alike, ‘Roots Demystified’ is an excellent and strongly recommended addition to personal, professional, academic, and community library Gardening/Agriculture/Horticulture reference collections and supplemental reading lists.”
