A Complete Guide to Growing Vegetables, Fruits,
Herbs and Flowers

This very comprehensive text focuses on the
importance of what you grow in an organic garden
as well as how you grow it. The author looks at
the health benefits of a variety of vegetables
then describes how to plan and grow the same for
yourself. Moving from why we garden organically
through soil and compost to dealing with pests
and disease, many useful techniques and tips are
given, including a section on grafting and
pruning. As this is a UK book it would be more
suitable applied to temperate climate gardens.
