I, too, was very disappointed in the Windstar programs. They are written on about a third grade level. They are not well researched. They persist in recommending many invasive plants. They give a lot of misinformation. They have not been updated since they were released. In other words, save your money. There is much better information here in this forum than you get from Windstar.

Shame on Windstar. Their articles are laced with misinformation and photos of invasive species being recommended. This organization is part of the problem not the solution.

The problem with the Windstars is that they're in it for the money or else they would have poured their heart and soul into their end product... but that costs money and that would cut into profits and like it or lump it it's what they're going to offer.
