Look plants up before we plant them. Know which plants are causing problems in our area. There are some great resources online where plants can be checked out, such as: USDA plants database: <a href="http://plants.usda.gov/" rel="nofollow"></a> That’s why is is so important to do our own homework.

I understand that few people ever read primary sources, though, and if authors stuck to well thought out summaries of relevant research it would be a nice touch. It seems anyone can get published regardless of credentials, and places like Barnes and Noble do little to filter out the junk. Many of the book authors claim to be Phd in their fields. When I've checked them out they often received degrees from non-accredited insutitions, sometimes by mail order! Not saying they couldn't find and publish good information, but often they do not and misleading the public regarding their credentials makes them highly suspect in my opinion.
