i mistakenly bought this thinking that alys would have something else to say with more tips etc like it implies in the product display.
this is not the case.
it is the same book as the thrifty gardener, just a different title and book cover, i even read both and compared each against each other.
if you dont have the thrifty gardener, it really is the best book in the world for fasinating tips, low cost options, how to keep seeds etc, i couldnt put it down for weeks and i constantly bored people that hate gardening with my new found knowledge.
so, if you have the thrifty gardener, id give it one star, if you havent got the thrifty gardener, buy this (or obviously the thrifty gardener), it is worth the five stars!
