There are more than 50 of these very handy, clearly written bulletins. Many of the authors are well known experts, and these booklets are a condensation of one topic, or the information has been excerpted from a bigger, more expensive book.
All booklets are 32 pages long, have graphics and or photographs and are up-to-date, very practical information sources. Each "how to" booklet is easy to read and offers clear direction. They are a great place to start a small project...like building a compost holder or mulching a garden properly. At $4.00 each they are affordable, and are a fast read.
