Product Description

Review

Anyone wanting a fantastic garden to relax in and enjoy with hardly any work involved should read this book. Famed for his organic practices, Bob Flowerdew freely admits to wanting more time to loaf around in his garden and luckily for him most organic practices are not labour-intensive thereby gaining the gardener the best of both worlds. A no-dig philosophy sounds great to the spade-shirker but it works. Apply a yearly mulch and let the worms do the work and you will notice the improvement the following season with results way beyond your expectations for such a little outlay. Don't mow the lawn so short and so often and you will find it stays greener in even the hottest of weather. Group your houseplants together for beneficial results and less watering. After chapters on saving energy on these, Bob reaches his favourite topic of fruit and vegetable production, explaining how to produce what you need rather than producing to impress the neighbours. A combination of sound commonsense, wildlife friendly cultivation and crops to eat make this the perfect gift for the overworked or lazy gardener who would like a better garden but hasn't the time or energy. - Lucy Watson

With the No Work Garden there's no excuse for not getting the garden you want and keeping it that way

5.0 out of 5 stars Bob the Motivator, 19 Jan 2003
By GillianBC (Buckinghamshire) - See all my reviews
I usually buy gardening books to draw inspiration from the pictures - and this one delivered, but I really have enjoyed the amusing prose in this one too and have read it through twice. Bob's commonsense advice is interspersed with many an anecdote from his many years as an organic guru and landscape gardener. I have read many gardening books but this book still gave me new ideas and encouraged me to be at one with my compost heap - though I resisted his suggestion about weeing on it ! Move over Alan Titchmarsh.
