Three booksPests & creatures
The Bestiary
Every living thing the companion knows to blame — the sap-suckers, the leaf-eaters, the grubs working out of sight below the soil, and the birds and mammals that treat a garden as a larder. Search by the damage you can see, or leaf through by how each one makes its living; every entry opens with how to know it, where it came from, what to do now, and who will hunt it for you.
