Getting the Most Out of Your Garden for the Least Amount of Work.
Bob Flowerdew has little time for hard work. He prefers to enjoy his garden and enlist nature's help in its upkeep. In this book he shares his revolutionary approach to garden design and maintenance. The novice and experienced gardener alike will uncover a mine of labour-saving tips for all parts of the garden, as well as no-nonsense advice on the hardest task of all - deciding what you want and how hard you are prepared to work for it.
A superlative straight-talker, Bob exposes the burdensome weight of convention and professional advice; as most gardeners don't require the highest yields, they can avoid much unnecessary work, like the application of chemical fertilisers.
Gardeners can also avoid countless chores by performing crucial tasks well; a good mulch reduces weeding and watering, and prompt pruning stops pests and diseases. Choose plants that thrive locally, welcome wildlife and lastly, trust in nature; left alone, seeds will germinate and plants will grow, flower and fruit.
