I am very grateful this book was gifted to me! I have taken over my mum's allotment and have been struggling to harvest my veggies with success. The book is comprehensive and packed full of information to help any novice gardener. I loved the chapter on understanding soil, my goodness I did not know how important it was! It is a fun listen with so much knowledge...and they say knowledge is power! ...A must listen!
