Grow Your Own Botanicals brings together an inspiration collection
of plants that add beauty, structure and interest to a garden as
well as providing an exciting harvest that can be used in
innovative ways in the kitchen and home. If you're buying seed kits
and botanical plant gifts or like to experiment with making your
own drinks, remedies or skin care, this handbook is the must-have
companion gardening guide. Now you can make your hibiscus cordial
for cocktails, herb and spice mix for your roasts or calendula face
cream with your own garden produce. Cinead offers general advice on
getting started - soil, composting, borders, containers, seed
saving, cuttings, intercropping, wildlife and biodiversity -before
moving on to the botanical garden. From plants that might
traditionally be recognised as a botanical, to more unusual exotic
varieties, this collection of 80 botanicals don't need huge space
to grow, but must harvest meaningful amounts to use to flavour
food, drinks and oils. Experiment with herbs like juniper, lemon
balm or nigella, grow evening primrose or liquorice with their
pretty flowers, and try out fruits like Chillean guava or yuzu.
This is gardenening at its most fun and fanciful!
What exactly is Bug Out Gardening? Having your own garden in your
own back yard is great but what if you must evacuate and have to go
to a remote location or start up a garden on a bunch of bad soil?
Most Preppers have already realized that besides having dried foods
stored foods for a disaster, one can also have fresh grown foods
with a little effort supplementing their diets. This book will
teach you how simple it can be to take along the materials with you
to create a small survival garden. Learn to make your own DIY
miracle grow and homemade insecticides and fertilizers! Learn about
growing vegetables from scratch when it absolutely matters before
you find the stores are all closed and that you lack basic
materials. Envision a portable system of gardening that you can
instantly create your homestead with or take along for a long-term
bug out situation. Imagine that this system allows you to garden
anywhere, compost anywhere and thrive everywhere.
