    Informative but...

    The Herb Bible was informative on many subjects concerning herbs and their use but I found it to be rather vague with the details that I was looking for. The author assumes the reader has a relatively concrete knowledge of herbalism which will leave those looking into herbalism for the first time with a lot to be desired. Also, I found its directory of herbs rather lacking in medicinal variety. Most herbs listed dealt with stomach ache, PMS, or fatigue and I was looking for something with a wide variety of plants that dealt with a wide variety of ailments-I also wanted something that explained, in depth, the processes involved in making compresses, poultices, tonics, tinctures, etc. The Herb Bible only touched upon the subjects.

    Though it was not what I was looking for, the Herb Bible covers a variety of ways to use herbs in healing, aroma therapy and cooking and provides ample information on preparing soil, laying out an herb garden, growing, and harvesting. I would recommend the Herb Bible for those interested in herbalism but aren't entirely sure what herbalism is about or what it can do for you and your family.

    Great information, easy to read, well organized!

    I bought this book and used it immediately while planting my garden. The section on compatibility with other plants was especially useful. (Did you know Tomatoes and Basil like to be planted near one another? Both will flourish if planted together). Wonderful resource!
