Ecology for gardeners / Steven B. Carroll and Steven D. Salt.
"Even a relatively small garden includes a surprising diversity of organisms which interact in myriad ways. Ecologists Carroll and Salt argue that the more completely we understand these interactions, the better gardeners we become. The authors cite hundreds of examples drawn from experience and literature on gardening and ecology."--NHBS Environment Bookstore.
