{"product_id":"the-berry-growers-companion","title":"The Berry Grower's Companion","description":"\u003cp\u003eBowling uses her twenty years of personal experience and professional expertise to illuminate the art and science of growing strawberries  brambles (including raspberries and blackberries)  blueberries  grapes  and a host of minor small fruits such as kiwi  currants  and gooseberries. A chapter is devoted to each of the main berry types and includes cultural requirements  botanical traits  the history of the plant in cultivation and in commerce  appropriate cultivars for each region of the United States  and pest and disease considerations. Because berry fruits are all too often ignored for their aesthetic and practical benefits  Bowling includes a chapter on their contributions to the garden landscape. Full of good humor and infectious enthusiasm  Bowling discusses practical considerations (What soils do the plants require? Which cultivars are best for a given site?) as well as philosophical concerns (What can we learn by growing food crops? What approach should we take with regard to pesticide use?).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966729515061,"sku":"ByrdShop_088192489X","price":61.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780881924893.jpg?v=1770577057","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-berry-growers-companion","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
