Product Description

Product Description
After an introductory chapter on how to get started, 14 further chapters supply dozens of tips for every area of the garden, from the kitchen garden to ponds, lawns, patios and containers. Pippa Greenwood uses her years of experience to reveal the most life-changing tricks that can make a dramatic difference, save time, save money and save energy. Tips are ordered logically, by area and by season, from the most fundamental to the most sophisticated. Chapter introductions explain what decisions you need to make about your priorities before you start and how to analyse the potential of your garden in order to get the most from it.

From the Author
I've had a love of gardening since my childhood, but like any other gardener (experienced or novice) I'm still always discovering new ways to do things, sometimes to save time, or simply because needs must! I garden on a windy hillside in Hampshire, on a seriously sticky alkaline clay, but past gardens have covered just about every other not-exactly-perfect-extreme!!

For 13 years I was a regular presenter on BBC 2's Gardeners' World, and for even longer have been a regular panelist on BBC Radio 4's Gardeners Question Time, I also write for
numerous publications and of course try to get out into the garden as often as I can.

Everyone, whatever their garden is like, however much experience they have, can benefit from other people's suggestions and ideas, and basically that is what '1001 Ways to be a Better Gardener' is all about - passing on some of my tips and suggestions for making the time you have in your garden all the more worthwhile, and ensuring that you get
the best possible results every time. It is divided up into lots of sections making it easy for you to find help quickly and easily, and there are plenty of great photos to help too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Full of great tips, 10 May 2008
By John Harrison "Johnhson" (Crewe, Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews
As a gardener myself, I really rate Pippa Greenwood, what she doesn't know about pests and problems is not worth knowing. She's not a TV personality, she's a genuine expert and this book is full of great tips and snippets.
It's one to skim through and then go back to the parts that you need rather than read cover to cover in one go.
I particularly liked the section on propagation, one area where many gardeners go wrong and on the correct use of fertilizers. For a beginner it's invaluable and for the experienced gardener there are quite a few tips you'll be grateful for.
It's been on and off my shelf for a few weeks now. I'll just check what Pippa says before tackling a new job. Well worth it.
