Die tien uit tien tuinmaakreeks dek 'n verskeidenheid
tuinonderwerpe in 'n gerieflike klein formaat wat sommer byderhand
gehou kan word terwyl jy tuinmaak. Die reeks is 'n uitvloeisel van
die skrywer se besoeke en lesings aan tuinbouklubs op dorpe wat
strek van Pongola in die ooste tot Lambertsbaai in die weste, en
vanaf Vryburg in die noorde tot by Caledon in die suide. In elke
dorp is daar unieke uitdagings wat werklik van tuinmaak 'n
spesialisstokperdjie maak - dink aan die kalkgrond in die Vryburg /
Mafikeng area, die brakwater by Olifantshoek en Kimberley, en die
ysige winters en warm, droe somers van Middelburg in die Karoo om
maar net 'n paar voorbeelde te noem. Maar ten spyte van die magdom
probleme is daar in elke dorp asemrowende tuine, en wonderlike
tuiniers wat 'n passie vir tuinmaak het. Hierdie reeks wil alle
tuiniers, reg oor die land, inspireer en toerus met die kennis om
self 'n pragtuin te skep. In elke titel word die geheime van
suksesvolle tuinmaak in tien sleutelbeginsels saamgevat. Onderwerpe
in die reeks sluit in:beplanning van die tuin; die keuse van plante
vir die tuin; voorbereiding van die tuin; besproeiing in die tuin;
dammetjies in die tuin; fokuspunte in die tuin; kompos in die tuin;
beligting in die tuin.

Grow your own citrus and subtropical fruit with help from Meredith
Book's "All About Citrus and Subtropical Fruit." From detailed
descriptions of over 70 varieties of citrus and 275 varieties of
subtropical fruits, you are bound to find the best type for your
garden. And don't forget the easy-to-follow care instructions that
will ensure a bountiful harvest.
Are the creatures that visit and live in your garden friends or
foes? How can you discourage the bad and nurture the good? And how
does each animal fit into the essential garden ecosystem? You'll
find the answers in the verdicts, evidence and treatments presented
in this innovative new book. Including more than 50 common garden
residents - from squirrels to starlings, from ladybirds to
leatherjackets, and from frogs to flea beetles - it tells you how
to encourage the forces for good and explains how best to deter or
get rid of (ideally organically) those that bring damage, disease
or even death to your precious plants. And vitally, it pieces
together the key links in the garden food chain and shows how to
maintain nature's delicate balance on your plot. As well as the key
gardening information you need, you'll discover here the
extraordinary ways in which garden wildlife is adapted for success,
how to encourage vital pollinators and how to plan planting and
cultivation to pre-empt problems. You'll see how to use pesticides
safely if you must, and there are hints and tips on the best ways
to deal with cats and dogs, chickens and geese in the garden. So
whether you want your garden to be a haven for hedgehogs and
honeybees, to have fewer slugs and snails, or to be know all the
pros and cons of crows and cabbage white caterpillars, then these
are the verdicts you need. Garden Wildlife on Trial is the sequel
and companion volume to Ruth Binney's successful Weeds on Trial
published in 2019 (ISBN 9781910821299).
A variety of practical gardening topics in handy small-format books that can be kept by one’s side while working in the garden.
The series was inspired by the author’s numerous visits and lecture tours to gardening clubs across the country. With South Africa’s variable climate and topography, each region presents its own set of unique challenges that make gardening a truly specialist hobby. But in spite of these problems, almost every South African town boasts exquisite gardens. This series aims to inspire and equip gardeners across the country with the knowledge and know-how to create a beautiful garden of their own.
In each book the secrets of successful gardening are summarised in ten key concepts.
Planned topics in the series include:
- Planning the garden
- Choosing plants for the garden
- Preparing the garden for planting
- Irrigation systems
- Composting and other types of nourishment
- Pests and diseases
- Water features and ponds
- Creating focal points in the garden
- Lighting for the garden
- Pruning
- Bulbs
- The winter garden
- And many more
