It is not often that you find a gardening book which in 15 minutes allows you to do exactly what it says on the title, but this book and the enitre Green Essentials series have provided me with the kind of straightforward information I need to get out into the garden. It includes everything from the basic tools you need to get started to a table which tells you what to sow and when. I highly recommend this book. I am now enjoying fresh vegetables from the garden which sure beats the vacum packed kind that you get in the supermarket. >>More Details |

this book (it's more of a pamphlet) just skims the surface of composting but is useful to give you the basics quickly. Bit pricey for what you get though.

This book is part of a practical gardening series from Garden Organic. It is one of the latest books in this series, published in 2008. Growing vegetable without chemicals is the best way. This book shows hot to grow organically. With vegetables being sprayed with chemicals many times over, travelling miles to reach us, sitting in storage - it makes sense to grow your own.
Half of this 64-page booklet is taken up with where, how to and suggestions for organic gardening. The remainder looks at the vegetables themselves. The instructions are easy to follow and are illustrated with full-colour photographs. There is little here for experienced vegetable growers, but this is a useful book fro beginners. >>More Details |

It is always a brave move to put the words "encyclopedia" in to the title of a book. I just stopped while writing to test this out, I looked up "bindweed" in the index as this was the first thing that came into my head. It leads me to a few pages and tells me how much "field bindweed" can spread in a single year and how weeds work and the invasion technique it uses. Following another page I can see a picture of "field bindweed" and "hedge bindweed" their survival and spread and three ways to help control it.
It is not a dictionary and you do have to read a little to find the information but it all seems to be in here. It covers just about every size of garden that you can think of, suggesting that even a 4ft square can be productive ... Read More: >>More Details |

I bought this book in an attempt to start gardening organically so was probably already committed in principle. The book is clear, concise and easy to refer to when I need it and I have already changed my garden radically to take account of its recommendations. The only drawback is that it doesn't really make any reference to commercially available organic products. Compost may be essential but in a small garden like mine is very difficult to produce in sufficient quantities. A little advice on what to buy when I can't make my own would be helpful. In the end I've had to go out and buy organic feeds without really knowing if I'm doing the right thing. All in all a great book to start with. >>More Details |

Unlike the last reviewer I found this book was enough to make the difference to my composting efforts. I had tried many times but always ended up with lumpy, slimy, unuseable waste. I tried some of the ideas in the book (cardboard, turning the compost, for example) and for the first time had compost I could safely put on my plants. I bought it for my brother and he liked it too. Yes it is simple but sometimes that is what you need - a few simple steps to follow with no confusing details to distract you. And there's nothing complicated about compost! I did think the last chapter on recycling was spectacularly naff and didn't fit in with the rest of the book, but overall well worth buying. I'm thinking of trying a wormery next... >>More Details |
