Riassunto

Conventional wisdom is difficult to question, even when it is misguided and contains many contradictions. Gardening has its share of such myths—some with discernible origins in history, others that have become established for no obvious reason—and they often obscure simpler and easier methods of working. This delightfully illustrated book reveals how common sense triumphs and crops are more successful when these “rules” are overturned. This fascinating and practical book will save the seasoned gardener time, money, and unnecessary effort and give new gardeners heart.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

These days, garden writing based on a solid career s worth of practical experience is rare indeed. Therein lies the value of this thought-provoking little book. --Rory Dusoir Gardens Illustrated

There s enough detail here to make a real difference to your garden, but it s cleverly broken down into bite-sized chunks with illustrations, so it never feels hard-going. --The English Garden

It has been proven untrue that watering in sunlight damages leaves. It is also untrue that rhubarb leaves and citrus peel cannot be composted, the latter may just take a while to decay. All this and much more makes for an entertaining and instructive read. --Mary Davies The Irish Garden
