My new veggie bedside book
I found the book really easy to read and to consult on the different vegetbles. It really covers everything, I particularly loved the section on making compost like 'Black Jack' Liquid Manure. Great ideas everyone can use, like using nettles and comfrey for manure. The book is so detailed but yet not over the top. It tells you how to plant then manage the veg then harvesting. For me it is the ...

Not many great gardening books out there, but this is one!
This isn't a good book - this is a GREAT book - OUTSTANDING - and there aren't that many great gardening books out there, especially salad gardens. OUTSTANDING illustrations photos and explanations. The chat on chickories is long and thorough. A full explanation of self-blanching vs. not celery - written in 1984 - seems just off the presses. The author is active and she has new books coming ...
