Grow Your Own Fruit and Vegetables is Lawrence D. Hills's
ground-breaking book on all aspects of fruit and vegetable growing.
It was widely praised on its publication and remains a classic text
in the world of organic gardening. 'Its great merit is that one
feels that every operation described has been personally carried
out by the author and selected as the most satisfactory after due
consideration of traditional methods. The treatment of each plant
is described from start to finish with sense, relish and humour;
there are many fascinating analyses of vitamin and mineral contents
and nutritional values, of different vegetables and fruits; and
there is excellent advice on picking, harvesting, as well as on
cooking ... it is the best practical guide to the subject that has
appeared for years, and the author is not concerned with argument
or philosophy, only with growing produce well.' Country Life 'There
is no better guide to non-chemical gardening than Lawrence D. Hills
... He is exceptionally well read and a good practical gardener
into the bargain, not a very common combination, and no doubt
because of his wide-ranging knowledge he is more balanced in his
views than some advocates of all-organic gardening ... Where I find
Mr Hills most stimulating is in his highly personal approach to
fruit and vegetable varieties and his recommendations based on such
commercially unfashionable criteria as flavour and food value.
There is a wealth of information here which would be difficult to
find in any other single book.' A. G. L. Hellyer in the Financial
Times
