Synopsis

You planted it. You watered it. Now something is eating it — and you have no idea what to do. This book is the answer.

Every gardener knows the sinking feeling: leaves chewed to lace, plants wilting for no reason, mysterious spots spreading overnight. Something got to your garden — but what, and what on earth do you do about it? Reach for the wrong spray and you can kill the helpful insects, harm the bees, and still not fix the problem.

This is the friendly field manual that ends the guesswork. Written in Rachel Beilerwood’s warm, plain-spoken style, The Garden Pest and Disease Problem Solver teaches you to read the damage, name the culprit, and fix it with the safest method that works — starting with your hands, a barrier, or a spray of water, and never reaching for the harsh stuff unless you truly must.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Diagnose almost any problem by reading the pattern of damage — holes, wilting, spots, stippling, or yellowing
  • Identify and stop the chewers: caterpillars, hornworms, Japanese beetles, slugs, and more
  • Beat the sap-suckers: aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and squash bugs
  • Handle hidden and underground pests, plus deer, rabbits, and other animals
  • Recognize and manage fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases — from powdery mildew to blight
  • Spot the impostors: problems like blossom-end rot that look like disease but aren’t (and need no spray)
  • Build a garden that fights back with healthy soil, spacing, rotation, barriers, and beneficial insects
  • Use a safe, least-toxic toolkit the right way — protecting pollinators, pets, and your family

With honest, myth-busting advice, US measurements (and metric in brackets), guidance you adapt to your own climate and hardiness zone, quick-reference charts, a crop-by-crop trouble guide, and a simple season-long routine, this is the calm, complete guide that turns panic into confidence.

Stop guessing and start solving. Protect your harvest the safe way — scroll up and grab your copy today.
