First Sentence
Not always the most popular chore in the gardener's calendar, digging is done for three reasons: to ensure that annual weeds are buried; to introduce manure or compost into the ground; and to aerate the soil. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for the novice, 8 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This colourful and concise book explains in suitable detail the methods for growing all types of vegetables, including less common varieties such as horseradish and okra. The book also contains sections about vegetable fruits and herbs. It begins with the basics of growing vegetables: appropriate tools, preparing the soil. Watering, compost, manure and fertilisers are all given attention, as are the best sowing techniques. Each vegetable is discussed, along with useful tips relevant to each. A practical month-by-month guide for the gardening year is also included. The only drawback for the environmentally-friendly gardener is that it does not emphasise organic techniques enough, for the environment-conscious gardener.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get back to the Good Life, 25 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This book is really helpful for those who are starting out with an allotment or a vegetable patch in the garden. This book is practical and full of useful information. It never confuses you yet neither does it over simplify things. Suitable for readers of all ages who want to try this relaxing pastime for themselves.
