Product Description

Review

'It is easy to imagine this book being consulted in garden sheds and allotment huts the length of the land, well thumbed in pursuit of another nugget of wisdom or vital piece of guidance from Dirty Nails. The sort of book any gardener would enjoy reading from cover to cover on a rainy afternoon.' Fosse Way Magazine 'A gardening book has got to be different, How to Grow Your Own Food is just that. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book which you could read at one sitting and delve into week by week.' Mid Sussex Times 'Packed with handy hints on wildlife-friendly fruit and veg gardening.' Amateur Gardening 'Thanks to his simple, down-to-earth style and chatty text, Dirty Nails is well worth a read. A delightful walk through the veg garden year, this book will be invaluable to anyone who's still finding their feet amid the excitement of growing their own food.' Garden News 'A 208-pager filled with fascinating facts and useful jobs for each week of the year.' North Devon Journal'A book, that down-to-earth gardeners will love. Anyone will learn a lot from his honest-to-goodness book.' Organic Gardening'For any wannabe fruit and veg grower.' Kitchen Garden'Every so often a book comes along that blows all that out of the water. This book is an absolute 'must have' for anyone serious about growing their own produce. Refreshing, easy to read in one sitting or to dip in and out of as a reference work, this book really does tick all the boxes. Plain common sense, humour and an amazing eye for detail.'

5.0 out of 5 stars How to grow your own food, 19 Jul 2007
This delightful book is a practical guide to enjoying the growing as much as the eating of your own food. It clearly presents a week by week guide to sowing, planting, nurturing and harvesting your own crops, plus some veggie recipes to further enjoy the fruits of your labour. Along side this are notes to engender closer observation of the wildlife encountered while in the garden or allotment and historical background to the food grown. It would be a stimulating book to encourage a beginner but being informative on many levels it is a really rewarding read for all who are willing to get their nails dirty.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Grow Your Own Food, 18 Jul 2007
What a wonderful book I have just read! It reads like a novel with the main character being 'Dirty Nails'. And what is it? A gardening book!! But it is more than that - wildlife, histories of various vegetables, soil information and for both the experienced and inexperienced gardener a week-by-week guide to planning, sowing, looking after and finally harvesting your very own veggies. Beautifully laid out and with a comprehensive contents page and extensive index, this is DEFINITELY one for the Gardener's library.

A delightful read. A "must" for ANY gardener. I felt so sad when I turned the page for the last week of January and found the year's week-by-week guide had finished. I wanted to just start all over again!
