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.

I bought this book at the end of last year when i aquired an allotment.
The book is written by an amatuer for amatuers, and although it has a few handy sections - like the month by month planner, it's very basic and more of a quirky comedy about a lady's toils in her allotment. I would reccomend this book if you are very new to gardening and have a small plot or maybe a small veg plot in your garden, as it has some novel ideas ie: building a hedgehog shelter, but fruit and veg gardening bible it is NOT! >>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 |

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 |

Without a doubt this is simply the best gardening book I have read. I am an experienced gardener and received this book as a present from my daughter. She knows little about gardening but she found a gem. Good to dip into for specifics and also great to just pick up and read at length on a rainy day. Written in a way that is not at all patronising, so the beginner to gardening can enjoy and understand, and the experienced gardener can enjoy with equal relish. The book covers everything from garden layout ideas to flowers, vegetables and fruit. Not too much detail but enough to understand and enjoy, and then, if necessary, purchase a book specialising in any specific area of interest. Only slight negative is the global warming/organic necessity aspect, ... Read More:

Masanobu Fukuoka defies western or modern agricultural techniques going down to the basics of traditional japanese life. No chemicals and no digging the land for an abundant and long term harvest. Planting with the heart. Mindfulness...
The book and Masanobu himself impressed me and I find myself following his path like that of a guru. >>More Details |
