Packed full of the age-old wisdom and expertise of generations of
gardeners, who used their down-to-earth and practical experience to
create beautiful, productive and useful gardens without spending a
fortune. Behind every beautiful garden is the skill and experience
of the gardener who tends it. How do you know which plants will
thrive in your patch, given the bewildering array on offer? How do
you know what soil and location they will like? And what do you do
about all those pests just waiting to tuck in, not to mention the
fungal diseases that suddenly turn your rose leaves from glossy
green to blotchy yellow and coat other leaves with a powdery white
dust? Just how do you tackle these gardening challenges, while
being eco friendly at the same time? This is where Old Wives’
Lore for Gardeners comes in. Packed within its pages is all the
age-old wisdom of generations of gardeners, people who knew a thing
or two about plants. They lived before the days of chemical
pesticides and concocted kitchen-cupboard remedies to treat pests
and diseases. They gardened organically – although they
wouldn’t have called it that – because there was no other
choice on offer. With a wealth of savvy and cost-effective tips and
advice, intriguing facts, snippets of history and quotes, Old
Wives’ Lore for Gardeners is not only a fascinating read but also
an invaluable guide to the gardening practices of old, which are as
relevant today as they have ever been.
