not only will this help you to grow healthier, tastier and stonger fruit, veg and house plants, but once you get the hang of it you can generally predict the weather better than the BBC. Its been spot on for my last 2 holidays in Cornwall and it gets Glastonbury festival right every year.

A completely invaluable book for anyone who likes to grow food. The thing about salad is that even the tiniest spot can be made to produce something (look at Dowding's discussion of microleaves for windowsills...) But the big advantage of this book is the brilliant month by month sections containing detailed suggestions and growing instructions for salads that will flourish at different times of year. Forget sowing the same thing over and over again, says Dowding. Instead, choose seasonal plants - mustards and rockets in winter, soft watery leaves in summer - which will flourish, needing less care and getting less pests, because they are growing at just the right time for them.
This book made me get out the seed catalogues and ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book is neither one thing nor t'other. It is not a hand-holding guide to setting up your allotment step-by-step, and it is certainly not a reference book. It has helped give me a few ideas, and most vegetables are covered, but it's infuriatingly difficult to find what you need, and leaves you guessing in vital areas. The tone is nice, and friendly, and soft, and unintimidating for a beginner, but the information is something of a damp squib.

This is a gardening book of the old school, one that is based on proven, tested experience and not the ususal unsubstantiated platitudes so easy to find in most books on the subject published these days.
Light on pictures and full of accurate information this is now my most valued book on vegetable growing, and would be useful to any allotment or home grower of food. In fact the book's title sells it short, as much of the book would be helpful to an organic 'digger' or even a non-organic grower. If you grow vegetables, fruit or herbs than you should read this book. >>More Details |

Well, for anyone thinking of buying this book I HIGHLY recommend it. I've read my fair share of allotment books, many of which will tell you exactly what you've read elsewhere, but seeing as I'm such as avid visitor to Jane Perrone's blog I thought I'd treat myself. A great read for anyone, no matter how experienced they are at this allotmenting lark. I loved hearing about all the things that went wrong and how to either overcome them or live with them. Very readable, very personal, very useful and never far from my side.

We were thinking of keeping 2 or 3 for the pleasure it would give us and our two children but this book has put us off the idea completely...
At times confusingly written with far too many negative aspects described in detail and not enough positives. Some might say the writing is 'charming' but, as a beginner, I needed to know detail which either isn't in this book or is made confusing by the writing. >>More Details |

This is an incredibly useful guide if you want to be more self-sufficient. It has sections on generating your own power, recycling, organic gardening, animal husbandry, brewing and preserving produce. The layout of the book is very clean-looking with simple, clear diagrams. I have looked at a number of different books on self-sufficiency and this is definitely one of the best.

The Biodynamic Year: Increasing Yield, Quality and Flavour - 100 Helpful Tips for the Gardener or Smallholderby: Maria Thun August 06, 2007 Best Selling > Books > Organic Gardening |

This is a beautiful book, full of colour photos and illustrations. Maria Thun sounds great - wish she was my grandmother. Everything she says is backed up by her own empirical research - masses of it! Anyone who trashes biodynamics should read this and feel ashamed. Her farm is like a scientific laboratory, and all her advice is backed up by solid research.
Best of all, though, this is a great 'how to' book that takes you through the seasons. Practical and good on the coffee table too! >>More Details |
