For years, gardeners have submitted questions to the staff and editors of Organic Gardening magazine, dealing with the real challenges they face in their own yards and gardens. Combined with the honest, well-informed answers of the OG staff, the question-and-answer department has become the most popular in the magazine. Now the best of these questions have been collected in one volume. The OG experts answer tough questions about gardening safely and organically, such as "will it hurt my garden if I mulch with clippings from lawns that have been sprayed with herbicides or pesticides?" and "does watering my garden with chlorinated tap water kill helpful soil microorganisms?" Organic Gardening Solutions also includes helpful suggestions for all kinds of gardeners with specific questions on herb, flower, and vegetable gardening, controlling weeds, fighting insect pests, composting, soil care, garden design, caring for trees and shrubs, and water gardening.
