Fantastic Resource

I have thoroughly enjoyed going through this book. I have not been able to try everything, but what I have tried works. The book is written so that it is easy to follow. There are hundreds and hundreds of "recipes" and tips which can be used to remedy any number of situations around the house/yard/garden. The best thing is that most of the ingredients were already in my kitchen cabinet - at least for the things that I've wanted to try so far. I also appreciate that this book provides alternative methods to the use of hazardous chemicals/pesticides. Additionally, this book provides a wonderful offering of recipes for self-care (pampering) such as lotions and tonics, and hair and skin care. Even if you've never even THOUGHT about making your own "stuff," this book will introduce you to any number of concoctions that you can have fun experimenting with. I highly recommend this book... have fun seeing what works for you!

I ordered this book as a Christmas gift for my sister. After it arrived I decided to take a peek at it before wrapping. I couldn't put the book down. It is so very readable, I love the format. The household items are listed in alphabetical order and many uses for each item are given. I love the triva listed in the book and the tips for recycling household items that you would normally toss in the trash. I told my sister I was keeping that book and giving her a different one, but let her look at the book first. She loved it and kept saying, "I have to have this book !" I ordered another copy so we both could have one. My husband even enjoys the book since he loves trivia. THe book is so easy to read, kind of like a magazine format.

All of Jerry Baker's books are great but this is the BEST. I gave this to my parents last year for Christmas and they STILL talk about it. They had to stop lending it to friends because the friends never wanted to return it. This one does have gardening tips in it too so it's a good combination.
