Summary

The veteran organic grower Charles Dowding sets out to demystify and clarify common gardening myths, and offers simpler, quicker and more successful ways to garden. Beautifully illustrated throughout, it's perfect for the gift market, and is aimed at both the practical and armchair gardener. Conventional wisdom is difficult to question, even when it is misguided and contains many contradictions. Gardening has its share of such `myths' - some with discernible origins in history, others that have become established for no obvious reason - and they often obscure simpler and easier methods of working. This delightfully illustrated book reveals how common sense triumphs and crops are more successful when these `rules' are overturned. A fascinating but practical book that will save the seasoned gardener time and give new gardeners heart.
