Ideal for the novice

This colourful and concise book explains in suitable detail the methods for growing all types of vegetables, including less common varieties such as horseradish and okra. The book also contains sections about vegetable fruits and herbs. It begins with the basics of growing vegetables: appropriate tools, preparing the soil. Watering, compost, manure and fertilisers are all given attention, as are the best sowing techniques. Each vegetable is discussed, along with useful tips relevant to each. A practical month-by-month guide for the gardening year is also included. The only drawback for the environmentally-friendly gardener is that it does not emphasise organic techniques enough, for the environment-conscious gardener.
