This is not your average gardening book. In it you will discover
how to increase your crop yield and grow healthier, better tasting
food, whilst reducing work in your garden and forking out less on
your fertiliser. This seemingly impossible win-win is achieved by
planting and reaping in tune with the phases of the moon. Lunar
gardening has been around for as long as man has pulled food from
the soil. It was practised by the Incas and the Native Americans,
and is still followed by the Maoris and rural communities in
Eastern Europe. Because it works. But with the mass adoption of
fertilisers achieving quicker results for a need-it-now-generation,
these techniques have been all but forgotten by the modern
gardener. Until now. Head gardener at Cornwall's famous Tresillian
Estate, John Harris has researched, studied and put in to practise
the principles of gardening by the phases of the moon for more than
forty years. The results he's achieved are nothing short of
astonishing. He has never watered his garden (even during the
drought of 1976), he only grows organically and yet he's won
numerous show awards and prizes for the size, abundance and taste
of his produce.In The Moon Gardener, he shows you how you can do
the same by following a few simple principles. Moon gardening is
not some groundless fad. It's been followed for thousands of years
with great success. Anyone who's met John Harris knows he's one of
the most down-to-earth people you could wish to meet. This book,
written in his own inimitable style, is packed full of tips that
improve results, anecdotes that inspire and resources you can rely
on. Its ultimate aim is to pass on John's treasure trove of
horticultural knowledge to future generations, so that we can all
get more from our garden. And before you ask, no: moon gardening
doesn't mean you have to start digging at night.
