Common Sense Lore Passed Down Through Generations.
In an era of increasing ecological awareness, Rosamond Richardson offers a timely reminder of ancient country wisdom that harnesses the power of nature. This vast canon of knowledge includes the weather lore handed down by those who sailed the high seas, and the experience of generations who worked and toiled on the land.
Learn how to combat garden pests (by throwing hot water over ants and luring slugs into saucers of beer), and the arts of composting (including liquid nettle manure) and planting (in tune with the lunar calendar). Packed with practical advice, 'The Natural Garden' also preserves lore of the quaint variety, including a piece on our friends the pollinators - the bee, butterfly and ladybird.
This is a timeless collection of knowledge and humour, and a pictorial treat with classic photography by Michelle Garrett.
