Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Margaret Roach has been harvesting 30 years of backyard parables - deceptively simple, instructive stories from a life spent digging ever deeper - and has distilled them in this memoir along with her best tips for garden making, discouraging all manner of animal and insect opponents, at-home pickling, and more. After ruminating on the bigger picture in her memoir And I Shall Have Some Peace There, Margaret Roach has returned to the garden, insisting as ever that we must garden with both our head and heart, or as she expresses it, with "horticultural how-to and woo-woo."

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.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance. That's not Mark Rashid's view. In his words, "If we understand that horses can't separate the way they feel from the way they act, then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isn't bad behavior at all. More times than not, it's just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time....

Rashid uses humorous, feel-good stories to relate his techniques of teaching horses by examining their view of the world. This book is a must-have for compassionate horse trainers and owners. Tales of Arabs, appaloosas, and paints - mistrusted and mistreated because of their breed - will give listeners a new perspective on these breeds and others.

Wanted to know how to kill weeds and the book wasn’t clear enough. Other than that it was very informative. Started the book leaving Manchester, CT and finished outside of Dingsman Ferry, PA.

A must for any homeowner
I bought this randomly not expecting much from it and was pleasantly surprised. The writing of the book lends itself very well to an audio book format. The narration was by far the best I've heard from an audio book and really showed the emotion of the author very well. I'm not a huge lawn guy, but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this book and actually retained a lot of the knowledge from the book. In fact I went from not caring too much about my lawn to being excited about it. Highly recommended for any house owner.

Repetitive, poorly edited
The book starts off great by describing the species of grass and how and where they are best used, but it very quickly becomes repetitive and very casual in tone. Organized loosely around the times of year, the same factoids about grass clipping, thatch, and fertilizer are repeated frequently, sometimes word for word. Critically absent are any descriptions to help identify fungus types or lawn diseases and how to treat them (some loose preventive tips are included in an unfocused form). The author also mentions they do not remember anything from their turf management courses, which is a very odd detail for an author to include in their book on lawn care.
