Product Description
Book Description
The answers to the 400 most asked questions from over 50 years of the world's longest running gardening programme.
Product Description
More than perhaps any programme GQT embodies the essence of Radio Four. For over 50 years it has been at, or near the top of, the radio charts and now draws 1.3 million listeners each week and broadcasts 45 programmes each year. Recordings attract dedicated audiences of between 250 and 750 - depending on the size of the venue. The GQT 'millennium' programme was a compilation of the top ten most asked questions over 50 years (the number one question is 'how can I control slugs in the garden'). When researching this programme it appeared that over the years there are just 400 or so questions or variants of questions which cover 95% of all the those asked. The book will be a compilation of these questions and answers. Section one will be the top ten, followed by five sections: Pests & Diseases, Fruit, Veg, Ornamentals, Trees & Shrubs with the 80 most asked questions in each. The answers keep the chatty style of the show but incorporate appropriate specialist information, organic alternatives from Bob Flowerdew, pest treatments from Pippa Greenwood, design tips from Nigel Colborn and so on. The book will be illustrated with line drawings and colour photographs to illustrate diseases and techniques and each Q&A will take up between half page and two pages. There will be a comprehensive cross-reference index - in the manner of our 'Trade Secrets' book.

All the questions you'll ever want to ask, in one book !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gardeners' Question Time - All Your Gardening Problems Solved (BBC Radio 4) (Hardcover)
Radio 4's Gardeners Question Time seems to have been running since the very beginning of time, and over the years its experts have answered many thousands of questions. Yet, remarkably, the questions posed over all those years have tended to recur to such an extent that in fact, the experts have only ever been challenged on something like 350 different subjects, and they're all here in this book.So now you can become your very own gardening guru - read this book, and you too will be expert enough to appear on the the nation's favourite gardening radio show ! If your aspirations are more modest, you'd simply like to be a bit more knowledgable about gardening, or if you just want to pass an entertaining hour or two doing some armchair gardening while you wait for spring, this book is an excellent read. The book is divided into sections covering different subject areas, so if you have a particular problem there's a good chance you'll be able to find a question about it, or you can recreate the radio show in you armchair just by dipping randomly into the pages. Both an excellent source book for gardening information, and a popular souvenir for fans of the radio show, this book seems destined to appear in the best sellers lists for some time to come !
