| | Customer Reviews: Great book for starter (17 August 2010)Contained all necessary information, including introduction, timetable and complete index of the most common veg and what to do with them. Would recommend to beginner. Fact-packed gem (11 July 2010)This vegetable gardening book is streets ahead of any other that I have seen - and I have a fair few - mostly received as Christmas presents from well-meaning non-gardening friends. These gift-books are beautifully photographed inspirational tomes that are a pleasure to sit down and relax with, and are very gratefully received of course. But this book is what you really need to tell you how to do the vegggie thing. There are a few pen and ink type sketeches, but otherwise it is information, information, and more information. There is no airy-fairy blather in here, which means that even that it's only the size of a slightly chunky paperback, you will be amazed at just how much helpful stuff is crammed in here. At the front are sections on general gardening - tools, mulching, pests & diseases, productivity etc. Then there is a section on each vegetable, only a few pages for each, but telling you all you need to know, and scattered with invaluable little nuggets of information of the sort that you would expect only a gardener of many decades' exprience to know about. It is clear that this marvelous little book is the distillation of a lifetime of gardening experience. As others have said, if you are going to buy only one vegetable how-to book, this has to be it. Great paperback packed full of information (17 May 2010)I love this book and I'm sure it will be referred to time and again. It is a "fat" paperback and clear well written text guides you through the highs and lows of vegetable gardening. It doesn't assume you have a huge back garden or fertile soil and sensibly advises how to improve your existing garden without great cost or unrealistic expectation, both of which can be daunting for newbies. Grow your own vegetables (15 March 2010)Grow Your Own Vegetables The only reference any veg gardener would need. An excellent buy. extremely informative and packed full of very useful practical advice - not only plant spacing and row spacings but necessary soil temps, etc for sowing outside which are often unavailable in most simplified gardening books. clear straight forward text without unnecessary frills. very good value for money A Must Have Book (27 February 2010)Without doubt one of the best books that I have in relation to growing vegetables. Being a enthusiastic, keen but in many ways, amateaur, plant grower and gardener, I have bought a number of books on the subject, most of which are full of large, sometimes full page, beautifully taken photographs, and very little real information, this book is not like that. If you want a book filled with good, reliable, and detailed information without the gloss, then this cannot be beaten in my opinion. Excellent. | |
