Product Description
Review
At last a real gardening book for real people with real gardens. Landscaping doesn t get tougher than this! --Home Farmer Magazine
Product Description
Garden Projects for Ruffians is written for anyone whose garden might be referred to as an impenetrable mix of rock and weeds and presents a range of ideas for those whose financial priorities don t include the spending of several grand on a water feature and a curved high gloss ten foot aluminium wall! It s about making the most of what you already have, throwing nothing away and spending the absolute minimum. Phil Thane guides us step by step through the tasks required to convert that neglected patch of land into a desirable BBQ zone in which we can relax on those balmy summer evenings. Beginning with the basic bedrock of soil and composting he goes on to refurbish or rebuild those tired walls, lay perfect weed free paths, patios, gravel areas and lawns, source, repair and make garden furniture and construct balustrades, decked areas, sheds, gates, doors and architectural features, both refined and rustic. To finish off he covers a list of all the hand and power tools you will need for the purpose, intentionally keeping the acquisition of luxury items to an absolute minimum. Each project is illustrated using photographs and hand drawings with measurements where appropriate. The ideal book for the thrifty gardener!

This review is from: Garden Projects for Ruffians (Paperback)
Very realistic and quite useful. Would have preferred some better quality photographs. A little expensive perhaps but the whole family has read it and we have even made some steps!
