As far as the information within, I had to remind myself many times that this book was written 20 years ago. I've seen this book … Continue reading Nickel and Dimed, or (Not) Getting By In America, by Barbara Ehrenreich

Leave a comment

My Copy: 9780761116967 (image from bn.com) Well, that was a surprising read. And for the most part, "weedless gardening" seems to really mean weedless. Weedless Gardening has an interesting premise in its pages about how to start gardening and what you're supposed to do with the soil to get your plants a healthy start, whether … Continue reading Weedless Gardening: the hassle-free all-organic system, by L. Reich.
