Recensione:

This is the kind of book that
gardeners dream of... Josie gives
us the ability to produce healthy
crops. Some of the photos let the
book down a bit, but the
information is what matters and
that is top class. --Karen Platt blog

The fun comes in the book's design - the pages are split crossways in three, so you flip the three parts and match symbols to pair your chosen main crop with plants you want to attract pollinators, suppress weeds or improve yield etc --The Good Book Guide
