  • Limit damage from plant-eating animals, including birds, chipmunks, rabbits, groundhogs, gophers, deer, and 8 other critters
  • Manage a dozen physiological disorders common to the veggie garden, including bitterness, bolting, and sun scald
  • Prevent problems before they occur using the many strategies detailed throughout these pages

Keeping vegetable plants healthy and productive is no easy task.
