In this book, Sharon Amos explains how to design and create a
beautiful garden for little or no money, offering tips on bartering
for clippings, getting a bargain at garage sales or neighbourhood
fairs, digging up suckers or adapting wild species and controlling
them in a garden environment. She provides a comprehensive
directory of 80 plants including detailed advice on where and how
to grow a wide variety of garden favourites, from snowdrops to
poppies. With beautiful illustrations, Plants for Free is the
perfect gift book for cultivating your garden on a budget of
next-to-nothing.
The Complete Book of Vegetables, Herbs and Fruit is a comprehensive
guide to selecting, cultivating, harvesting and cooking your own
fresh produce at home. The coverage is phenomenal - from the care
of asparagus through the seasons to the huge number of apples that
can be grown in even the smallest spaces. The book combines lavish
illustration with an accessible layout and details the cultivation,
companion planting, pests and diseases and culinary, medicinal and
cosmetic uses for each variety. It is a real must-have for every
gardener or cook.
