Book Description

1 Feb 2002
This book is about how to make your garden productive in a variety of ways, for both expert and gardening novice alike, at minimum cost and in an innovative and self-financing way. For those who know little or nothing about gardening this will start you on your way, for it's not just the physical garden and its ever-changing visual appeal that's exciting, but the journey to that end which holds the real excitement - a journey of discovery and self-fulfilment.
Choosing plants to grow, organising time and space (you don't need much of either!)detering slugs, getting the best from the plants and even how to sell excess plants should you wish (to make money for yourself, a particular charity or cause) are all covered here.
The author writes from real experience, growing plants in the not always ideal location of Ross-shire in Scotland, as he says "if I can do it, anybody can".

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
I can hardly say I'm really into gardening, but this book really did make me think.

One of the things I thought was giving up the day job and following Patrick's lead. In the end I didn't - I did give up the day job though for something else - but I could see myself growing and selling the Vickery way (Vickery is his real name, not Vicary - I found this out from his blog).

So, as well as tips on gardening (and making a living from it) it will make you think, and if it keeps you awake at night, it will be because it has filled your head full of good thoughts.
