the AI generated BS

so I have to say some of the book legitimately seems like it was 100% written by Jack or AI completely some of the very basic information you can look up through your local community extension Office. being a very very Avid Gardener 15-year landscape experience on top of that and 8 years climbing arborist on top of that some of the stuff mentioned in this book in my opinion is completely wrong

Not useful

This book contains nothing but regurgitated generic information. I did not find it useful or informative. There is plenty of good technical guidance available from other sources.
