Drawn from many and varied lifetimes spent around ponds, The Pond Lovers brims with lessons and opportunities for good work and good play for backyard naturalists, do-it-yourselfers, and armchair gardeners. Logsdon's writings blend commonsense advice, curmudgeonly wit, and a healthy dose of respect for the earth.
To his legions of readers, Gene Logsdon is best known as the Contrary Farmer. This is Logsdon's ode to the watery microcosms all around, from the half-acre farm pond to the suburban garden pool. Readers looking for hands-on experience will find plenty of pond-keeping do's and don'ts.
