Practical Gardening

Expert guidance on the many pleasures and pitfalls of gardening is always welcome. Practical gardening is packed with tips and valuable information that will remove some of the mystery of gardening and inspire you with its magic, so you can work with confidence to keep your garden looking its best whatever the season. Practical gardening looks at the wide range of gardening tools and equipment available and what you need to get you started. It examines the impact of different climates and soil types on the plants in your garden and how they affect the gardener's choices in selecting what to grow. When you've made those choices, Practical gardening shows you how to grow plants from seed or increase stock from existing plants and then how to care for them - including how to keep them safer from pests and diseases.
