Question
I would like to know how many people uses Jerry Baker's tonics and what the results are?

I am planing to use them on my Perennial Garden this year.

I live in Northwest Ohio in Zone 5

I am planning to have my garden at it's pick all summer long with your help all things are possible.
My garden is 25' X 25' and is 40 ' in front. Yes it is a large perennial bed, in fact it is meant for Butterflies and Hummingbirds. So yes it has to be in it's pick at all times.  also plan to put a drip system in to water my plants.
There is one item that I would like some help with and that is to put a focal point in the garden?

Answer
John, I can't tell you how much business Jerry Baker has.  I have read his books and his concepts are unique.  Many of them work.  I don't like some of them, but what I happen to love about Jerry Baker is the way he has taken the Chemicals out of the Garden.

Anybody who can do that in my book is a Saint.

On this Easter morning when millions of people around the world celebrate the life of a person who taught patience, and respect for others and for life, how can any Gardener not be grateful that we have a high profile, down to Earth spokesman like Jerry Baker to make these things possible in our own back yard?

Butterflies and Hummingbirds are IMPOSSIBLE in a garden filled with Chemicals.  Even one spritz of Malathion, a single dose of the 2,4-D in Scotts Weed and Feed, these will destroy all those beautiful things that God wants for our gardens.

Drip system?  FANTASTIC, John!  FANTASTIC!  Saves water.  Even if you had a gazillion dollars to spend on water, it's right to conserve.

Me, I complicate everything.  Lots of people write in here and they want to know when to put down the Scotts 1-2-3 or the Lime or whatever.  They snicker at Jerry Baker but they are doing some pretty awful things to their lawns and gardens, and after a while, it shows.  They have no idea.

So me, I speak to them.  I try to explain, on a molecular level if necessary, without losing them, without arrogance, that these chemicals are not what they think.  And sometimes, I reach them.  Jerry Baker gets hits and misses.  Me, I get a few of those misses, and hit a few.  He is really famous.  Nobody knows the Long Island Gardener.  He has power.  So to me, He is a great American, even if I don't agree with every detail of his program.  It's a great program.  And it's great that you have figured that out.  Bravo, John!

Your focal point -- well, do you have a Birdbath?  My guess is, yes.

If not, get one asap!  They come out with a lot of beautiful models every year, and there are antiques at Estate Sales with lots of character.  We gardeners have been doing this a long time.

That birdbath needs Hostas around the base and Tulips.  Near a tree or large shrub?  Mine's near a Viburnum.  Perfect place for the birdfeeder.  I bought one for my father one year with a remote speaker so he could hear the birds eating breakfast while he was in the kitchen drinking his morning coffee.

I tell you, John, some things money can't buy.

A good life is one of them.  My friend, you have a good life.  And God bless Jerry Baker.

Thanks for writing.  Any more questions, I'm here.
