Format:Hardcover
Another clear, well written and down to earth guide from a man who has built up years of experience. An invaluable book, and not just for beginners. I too grow my own food, but can always look in here for advice and guidance when I need to.

Another great book from John Harrison. Packed with clear, colour pictures and diagrams it will make a great instructional book for the beginner whilst being a good reference volume for all levels of gardener. A good looking and hard wearing hardback format too.
