Gardening in the Pacific Northwest: The Complete Homeowner's Guide by Amy Campion, Paul Bonine

4.0

This is a very basic guide to gardening in the Pacific Northwest. It talks about the climate and the soils we garden in, provides a basic overview of some common garden pests and illnesses and how to deal with them, and gives a list of some plants that thrive here and where to plant them. There are also some ideas for garden designs. The book is a good starting place, but it isn't comprehensive. It doesn't go into a lot of detail about what time of year to mulch and what kind of mulch is best with what soil, or how to deal with invasive plant species like horsetails. If you're trying to do a lot of gardening, you'll end up needing to consult some other sources.
