RE: [GWL]: resources on yucky garden problems

Interesting that you should mention this aspect of the garden...they are there and I must admit for the first few years in my own gardening life, I had to resist the urge to squish everthing in sight!  Now I know better :)
 
The major job I have with my own garden club is finding speakers for the meetings...I am blessed in that we have a good sized club that can afford some of the best speakers..and one of them is coming to our January meeting.  John Acorn, the Nature Nut...(you can read up on him under our Edmonton Horticultural Society events calendar for January...this fellow is wonderful at showing us the variety and beauty of so many creatures that inhabit our gardens...he is a super speaker and held in high regard.  A writer, speaker, tv personality with his own shows and brand of unique entertainment while at the same time teaching us very basic things..a different slant on gardening ...but a very necessary one.

I'd be interested to know what books/web resources people on the list would recommend to gardeners and garden writers for dealing responsibly and sensibily with common garden problems such as pests, diseases, weeds, critters, and so on.
 
By the way, I highly recommend Eric Grissel's new book from Timber Press, Insects and Gardens. It's a wonderful read with lots of food for thought, practical advice for gardeners and good photos of lovely and not so lovely insects. There's even a section on getting over your fear of insects (a decade in the garden did it for me, though I wasn't all that phobic to begin with.). The book is written with humor, expert insight (Grissel is an entomologist) and a lot of wisdom. I give it an A+++ . You'll come away with an appreciation of insects.
