Customer Reviews

great book
I watched the tv series and was inspired so dug up a bit of lawn and got this book. really easy to follow - would recommend it v highly indeed

EXCELLENT!
A fast moving read, very intelligent, spells it out, I couldn't put it down. Which is unusual for books of this type. Normally the going to very dry, exceedingly droll. but this author lays everything out in highly interesting fashion.

The points made are worth making, too, which alone sets it apart from other books in this genre.

Clear, concise, interesting and excellent
There are a LOT of coffee-table books out there which purport to help you with aspects of gardening. There are a lot of books full of fancy photographs and complex text. This book is as unlike those as are cheese and chalk. This is probably one of the clearest, best organised and well written books on this subject that you will ever find. Every aspect is thought out to the Nth degree - text is clear and descriptive without becoming overly technical. Photographs and diagrams are clear and useful. The organisation is as near perfect as possible.

All-in-all ... this book is probably the only book on this subject that you will ever need unless you intend opening a market garden. And even then, I reckon it would be hard to beat.
