Description |
This practical and inspirational handbook is aimed at the new generation of
gardeners who want to enjoy the taste and health benefits of growing their
own food, but who have little time to spare. Expert advice and innovative
techniques show you how to grow the right quantities of the fruit and
vegetables you love, and enjoy the satisfactions of tending an allotment or
vegetable garden without becoming a slave to your plot. Tested by
fruit-grower Will Sibley and author Lia Leendertz on their own allotments,
these methods will enable you to get the best results in half an hour per
day, or even less. The book covers all aspects of allotmenteering and
vegetable gardening, including the practicalities of obtaining and
maintaining a site, choosing what to grow, designing the plot and advanced
projects such as building paths and shelters. A section on harvesting,
storing and cooking shows you what to do when your crop is ripe and ready. |
