What do antacids, baby shampoo, and vodka have in common? They are all super powerful, money-saving solutions described in this home-improvement guide to solving common health, home, and garden... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I am trying to steer away from chemical usage & go for natural ways of getting rid of insects etc.
Interesting reading!

This is a great book to learn simple solutions for everyday problems. I'm amazed at all the things that are so easy to do. A friend owns this book and I glanced through it; I had to have one for myself!
Buy THIS Jerry Baker Book

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.
more than satisfied

I purchased this item for my daughter.She first used it at the half-way house where she is a care-taker for three young men. She wanted a copy of the book for herself so she could try out different recipes at home. She uses it a lot.
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!
