Description
Whether preparing the ground, planting for summer scent, choosing a shrub for all-year-round pleasure, pruning, going organic or growing your own veg, you'll find inspiration and advice in this beautifully produced collection. Capturing Lloyd's huge appetite and enthusiasm for the pleasure that a garden brings, Cuttings is an essential addition to any gardening library.
Packed with invaluable advice, from how to choose an allotment and test its soil, to knowing your chickweed from your chicory, The Allotment Keeper's Handbook offers an enjoyable and inspiring shortcut through the trials, errors and frustrations of starting your own plot.
Dispensing with the strict calendar-based advice usually found in gardening manuals, Jane Perrone steers a carefree course through the gardener's year. Featuring monthly to-do lists, 'spotlights' on unusual vegetables, a history of allotments, an exhaustive section on crop rotation, a chapter devoted to harvesting and storage and a glossary to cut through garden jargon, this book is all you will need to get growing.
