5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know to plan your organic garden, 16 Aug 2001

By A Customer

This was the first book I read focusing solely on organic gardening. In coming to buy such a text from Amazon the choice was somewhat overwhelming. I plumped for Geoff Hamilton's book because of my familiarity with, and love of, the layout of other Dorling Kindersley publications. I was not disappointed.

This large and bright book is interspersed with many photographs and illustrations making it a very easy and clear read. The text is divided into many invaluable sections overviewing the philosophy of organic gardening, information on soil types and means of improvement, pest and weed control, the ornamental, container, vegetable, fruit and herb gardens along with a range of gardening techniques and a gardening calender. Helpful step-by-step instructions and diagrams are provided for specific techniques along the way. Mr Hamilton tries to incorporate organic myths and legends alongside the results of his own rigorous experiments conducted over many years of organic gardening.

Since reading this book I have browsed through other works in the field (no pun intended!)and have not found information to be lacking here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent all round reference book, 9 Jul 2008

By	Linda Blob (France) - See all my reviews

I have been using this book for 5 or 6 years and still refer to it regularly in my vegetable plot - hence it has become slightly damp and muddy. It provides lots of useful background information on soil conditions, fighting the endless insects and diseases, as well as individual sections on vegetables.
Its an ideal tool for a first-time veg gardener, as well as for those more experienced gardeners who like to experiment with new veg each year or try out different ways of keeping the insects at bay. Its also the clearest description that I've found for pruning fruit trees, which always seems to confuse me.
