Resumen del Editor
In this introduction to sustainable landscaping practices, Linda Chalker-Scott addresses the most common myths and misconceptions that plague home gardeners and horticultural professionals.
Chalker-Scott offers invaluable advice to gardeners who have wondered: Are native plants the best choice for sustainable landscaping? Should you avoid disturbing the root ball when planting? Are organic products better or safer than synthetic ones? What is the best way to control weeds - fabric or mulch? Does giving vitamins to plants stimulate growth? Are compost teas effective in controlling diseases? When is the best time to water in hot weather? If you pay more, do you get a higher-quality plant? How can you differentiate good advice from bad advice? The answers may surprise you.
In her more than 20 years as a university researcher and educator in the field of plant physiology, Linda Chalker-Scott has discovered a number of so-called truths that originated in traditional agriculture that have been applied to urban horticulture, in many cases damaging both plant and environmental health.
The Informed Gardener is based on basic and applied research from university faculty and landscape professionals, originally published in peer-reviewed journals. After reading this book, you will: understand your landscape or garden plants as components of a living system; save time (by not overdoing soil preparation, weeding, pruning, staking, or replacing plants that have died before their time); save money (by avoiding worthless or harmful garden products, and producing healthier, longer-lived plants); reduce use of fertilizers and pesticides; and assess marketing claims objectively.
This book will be of interest to landscape architects, nursery and landscape professionals, urban foresters, arborists, certified professional horticulturists, and home gardeners.
Linda Chalker-Scott is an extension urban horticulturist and associate professor at Puyallup Research and Extension Center at Washington State University. She is the Washington State editor of MasterGardener magazine, and for six years she authored Horticultural Myths, an online column.

Historia
When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed but know little to nothing about the nature of the nutrients involved or how they get into plants. Teaming with Nutrients explains how nutrients move into plants and what both macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients do once inside. It shows organic gardeners how to provide these essentials.

There are redwoods in California that were ancient by the time Columbus first landed and pines still alive that germinated around the time humans invented writing. There are Douglas firs as tall as skyscrapers and a banyan tree in Calcutta as big as a football field. From the tallest to the smallest, trees inspire wonder in all of us, and in The Tree, Colin Tudge travels around the world - throughout the United States, the Costa Rican rain forest, Panama and Brazil, India, New Zealand, China, and most of Europe - bringing to life stories and facts about the trees around us.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more.

Historia
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain, yet we know very little about how it works. Gut: The Inside Story is an entertaining, informative tour of the digestive system from the moment we raise a tasty morsel to our lips until the moment our body surrenders the remnants to the toilet bowl. No topic is too lowly for the author's wonder and admiration, from the careful choreography of breaking wind to the precise internal communication required for a cleansing vomit.

Great information but not suitable for audio
I'm sorry to give this book a low rating because I think the information is first-rate. However, I don't think audio was the way to go with it. This should be a reference book in the library of landscape professionals and very serious gardeners. Less committed gardeners would benefit from checking her book out of their public library or consulting her blog. For instance, she offers great advice on how to go about planting new trees and bushes and keeping them alive. But if you don't plan to do that today, how are you going to go back and find that information six months from now? In a physical book, you look in the table of contents or the index. With an audio book... what? Will you listen to the whole book again for that one bit of information?
This book is actually a collection of essays lifted from the author's blog. Almost all of them have to do with long-term landscape plants like trees and shrubs rather than flower beds, vegetable gardens, or farmland. If you are getting ready to build a landscape--whether a city park or a new, unlandscaped home, the information will be invaluable to you. If you live in a home that already has about as many trees and bushes as you intend for it to have, there is some information in this book that will be helpful to you, but not as much. If you are interested in finding out how to grow a vegetable garden or pretty flower beds, there is no such information here.
So, bottom line: This is not an entertaining book. It is serious information for specific gardening questions and is best conveyed in the printed form--either as a physical book or on her blog. I believe that getting this in the audio format will be a waste of your credit.

Great Scientific Information in Layman's Terms
Any additional comments?
I thought that this was a a great listen. I am very busy and don't have time to read as much I would like-especially on this topic. I listened while I got stuff done around the house and garden. I found the information to be very useful. She addresses common misconceptions about gardening. I found myself actually hitting my forehead a few times, having learned I was making common gardening mistakes. I now know what to look for when I go to a nursery to buy plants, and how to install them properly. I don't see this as a reference book, but rather as a great source of general information. I would recommend it to any gardener who finds they don't have the time they'd like to read.

Good science based info!
Loved this and will listen again! The reader sounded robotic at times, but the invaluable information made up for that!
Most of this stuff was review from my college classes, but it's good to know that what I learned before is still correct and there was a fair amount I hadn't heard before. I hadn't heard a lot of these myths before either - where do people come up with these ideas??

As the title suggests, this book was filled with useful information. You can really see the start of a new science-based movement in gardening. The narrator voice is a bit robotic but I got used to it fairly quickly.

Scientific Skepticism In The Garden
Would you consider the audio edition of The Informed Gardener to be better than the print version?
Couldn't say, don't have the print version, the performance wasn't anything to write home about, but it got the message across.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Beth Richmond?
Christina Traister, loved how she read "Rain"
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The Skeptics Guide To The Gardening Universe
Any additional comments?
You don't need to be an astrophysicist, evolutionary biologist or climate scientist to bring the power of science literacy and well honed skepticism into your life. I've been listening to this book every so often for years now, and the potent combination of science, biology and garden knowledge has given me a powerful competitive edge.
