Eliminate Plant Deficiencies and Diseases

The definitive work on vegetable plant nutrition - nothing else we've seen comes close! Illustrates plant deficiency symptoms for all 13 nutrients on a wide variety of vegetables and fruits, using more than 800 color photographs. Includes three volumes of detailed descriptions that teach what each nutrient does for plants and how to recognize the first and predominant symptom of deficiency. Suggests appropriate corrective dosages for your particular garden space, different methods of application, and the best time for treatment.

Created from 50 years' study and field experience throughout the world. Used in many agriculture colleges and universities, as well as by many agriculture agents, in the USA and numerous other countries. Works equally well on large farms and small backyard gardens, to diagnose and treat plants and produce greatly enhanced yields of uniform quality vegetable and fruit crops on any soil, in any climate.

Also available in Russian. Please contact us if you are interested in the Russian version.

"We started seeing problems with our tomatoes this year and it took about 5 minutes to figure out it was a potassium deficiency using The Garden Doctor."

Tip of the Day

It's Spring Planting Time! For those of you in the Northern hemisphere who have winters, March and early April are the time you need to be preparing your soil and planting the hardy vegetable crops such as radishes, peas, cabbage and broccoli.

The freeze/thaw cycles of winter have broken up and loosened most soils, so as soon as it's not muddy, go in and give everything a good weeding with the 2-way hoe (see Tools). Weeding thoroughly this early gives you the upper hand, and is very important.

If you grew a Mittleider garden last year, your beds will be easy to re-make. Just apply Pre-Plant and Weekly Feed to the bed area, then till them in, place strings on your stakes, and re-make the beds.

Be sure to re-check the level of each bed accurately, since they may have changed a little. Do not be satisfied with anything more than 1" fall in a 30'-long soil-bed. Good Gardening!
