Description
This book has been designed for the
gardener who wants simple advice on basic
gardening principles. The distinguished
team of contributors have assumed little
previous experience on the part of the
reader – rather they have concentrated on
suggesting the best and simplest ways of
obtaining pleasing and satisfying results
from the garden.
Topics covered include: garden layout
and construction; soils and fertilizers;
lawns; trees and shrubs; climbers; rock
gardens; town gardens; vegetables;
herbaceous plants; roses; pests and
diseases. There are also very useful
chapters on greenhouses and house
plants, particularly apposite in these days
of ever-increasing prices of bedding
plants and pot plants.
Whether the aim is to produce fruits and
vegetables or to have attractive features in
the garden, this book is full of helpful
advice for the amateur gardener.
