Summary: How to for everything under the sun!
Review: After checking this book out of the library numerous times and trying to take notes on all the formulas that I knew I could use, I realized that either I would have to hand copy the book or go buy one at Amazon. I chose the latter and since buying it a few months ago, I've returned to the formulas again and again. Using this book you WILL: save money, save natural resources, find ready answers, and find practical information to help you in the home or garden. Using this book you'll be able to make plant fertilizer (that really works!), household cleaning solutions, soaps, herbal remedies, and much more. Even my pets have benefitted from this book. Enjoy!

Summary: Martha Stewart Wannabes... This is for You!
Review: I love learning new tricks for keeping house, and this book is *full* of tips! I have returned to this book time after time to learn how to treat a fever, make traps for the dreaded whiteflies, make a no-salt spice mix for chicken, and clean darned near anything. This is an indispensable reference for any homemaker on a budget.

Summary: Great Resource for Budget Minded People
Review: This book is a great resource for people who are on a budget. Almost all of these formulas are easy to make and every one I have tried out works well. The ingredients called for are usually very cheap and easy to find.

My only two issues with it are: 1- Some of the ingredients called for in some of these formulas are not normally kept in the home and will require a trip to the grocery store. 2- This book covers such a wide variety of formulas for a lot of uses. This is frustrating for me because my brain doesn't work that way. I tend to ilke things that belong together to be together. I just forget sometimes to consider looking in this book when trying to find a solution to a problem (ants, acne etc). This book has recipes, formulas for ant prevention and cleaning solutions all in one book. However, they are devided into appropriate sections.

I have gotten rid of this book once, only to find myself looking for it later to get a solution to a problem with ants. I ran right out, bought it again and now it's staying on my shelves.
