THis book is superb, while a few reviewers say it is too vaguye on some things and too specific on others (which is true - it has to be vague on some areas where the grower has to use their own judgement, there is no recipe or 12-astep programme you must respod to your plants!)
Very light on its hydropoincs stuff - but in my view this makes it a FANTASTIC book for a beginner, taking you through all the key areas and giving you a good, easy and forgiving method of growing (soil) rather than tryinjg to elarn about growing and hydro all at once. That said his hydro section is one of the clearest and best illustrated overviews I've seen - nbot a detailed how to but a great starter. THe book doesn't quite attain truly biblical ...

Every vegetable is available in a number of different varieties. But which varieties to choose? In the case of most veg, choosing is fairly simple and is fun; it usually takes a couple of evenings going through the seed catalogues when preparing next season's seed order. But potatoes are special. Knowing - really knowing - about the different varieties available, along with their strengths and weaknesses, is necessary, fascinating, fun, rewarding and strangely addictive. And of course this reseach really pays off come harvest time. The best way to learn about potatoes - the varieties available, their characteristics, the difference between 1st earlies, 2nd earlies, maincrop, the growing techniques, etc. - is to read this invaluable book. It ... Read More:

If you are looking for a pretty book with lots of nice photos then this book is not for you! Although this book claims to be for the "layman", it is still stuffed full of mathematical equations & other complex graphs, detailing how the trees grow & why. Some of the illustrations and black & white photos are actually difficult to follow or understand. The writing is certainly very informative, but it proved to me - a real layman I hasten to add! - rather inconclusive at times. I was looking for guidance on what to do with my olive trees, and I am now left somewhat startled & still a little confused after reading it.
However it has given me a lot of background on the nature of olive trees, and rather than simply recommending ... Read More: >>More Details |

British Field Crops: A Pocket Guide to the Identification, History and Uses of Traditional and Novel Arable Crops in Great Britainby: Sally A. Francis July 11, 2005 Best Selling > Books > Crop Production |

This is an excellent guide to crops in Britain. It has very impressive line drawings which make every crop easy to identify, even for an unskilled rambler. It also provides really interesting information about the origins and uses of each crop. In fact, when we had a question, it invariably provided the answer. Great book. Great buy! Small enough to fit in your pocket.

Factual, informative, eye-opener of a book presenting all the facts in a very readable and entertaining fashion. Not quite as entertaining though as the somewhat more quirky 'The Emperor Wears no Clothes' which contains the same information but in a less academic style. Read them both.

Now over 10 year's old, this book outlines a lot of very useful information on starting small scale farming in an organic way. It is approved by the Soil Association - and that does mean it can be trusted. The author is an experienced farmer who understands the problems of going organic - both for the 'new to farming' and the experienced farmer. Chapters explain both crop and animal husbandry - and give the pigs a welcome boost (You don't need a tractor if you have a pig!). Useful for the market gardening fraturnity too. I am pleased I bought this. >>More Details |
