Amazon.co.uk Review
"Buy one plant and get countless plants for free."If these words appeal to you this book will give you all the information you need to help you to raise new plants, ie: to propagate successfully. Every gardener is aware just how costly plants can be and this publication shows that anyone can suffessfully propagate by simply following a few basic rules. There is no intrigue, no mystique, no trickery involved and possessing green fingers is certainly not a requirement.
The book is edited by Alistair Ayres, editor of the renowned Gardening Which? and to provide the information necessary he has consulted leading experts, enabling all the aspects of propagation to be available for the amateur gardener. It is arranged by plant types from trees, shrubs, heathers, conifers, bedding plants, hardy annuals, biennials, bulbs, herbacious perennials, rock plants to special interest plants, pond plants, wild flowers, fruit, vegetables, indoor plants and herbs.
The information is clearly backed up by step-by-step line drawings and colour photographs. Trials on a range of the propagation methods have also been carried out under laboratory conditions and by ordinary gardeners, ensuring the reliance of the information which is clearly up to date. All in all, it is a superb gardening guide.
Other titles in the series include The Gardening Which? Guide to Successful Pruning, The Gardening Which? Guide to Successful Shrubs, The Gardening Which? Guide to Small Gardens and The Gardening Which? Guide to Patio and Container Plants. --Susan Naylor
