New Publication 



The fourth— 1998— edition of The 

 Green Methods Manual, The Original 

 Bio-control primer has recently been 

 published by The Green Spot, 

 Ltd., the biological control dis- 

 tributor based in Nottingham, New 

 Hampshire. 



Written by IVlike Cherim, what 

 was originally a catalog has 

 evolved into a hybrid 244-page 

 catalog/technical manual illus- 

 trated with 134 photographs 

 (many taken by Mike himself). It's 

 described as "filled with useful 

 and forthright information" and 

 "written with knowledge obtained 



r the 



green 

 methods 



The original 

 bio-control 

 primer 



from real growers." 



For $9.95 (this includes ship- 

 ping and handlingl, you get your 

 money's worth. It's lively and con- 



versational — and very hands-on — 

 and after reading about some- 

 thing, you can order it — the 

 information's right here. 



But biological control's still 

 evolving, with positives, yes, but 

 with some negatives and plenty of 

 unresolved questions. The Green 

 Methods Manual gives lots of facts, 

 but these need to be tied to- 

 gether by a more objective and 

 broader picture. 



This is not to deny the manual's 

 value, but to say you should learn 

 as much as possible. Bio-control 

 requires a somewhat different way 

 of doing things and it's wise to 

 have begun to acquire the right 

 mindset before ordering your first 

 batch of "Crypts."
