This guide contains everything you need to know to create a highly-productive vegetable plot. It covers every aspect of vegetable gardening, including preparing soil; manures, composts and fertilizers; growing techniques; protection; pests, diseases and weeds; and making good use of space.
The book for anyone who wants to enjoy the delights and satisfaction of growing their own vegetables. You may want to grow vegetables for flavour - freshly picked peas or young carrots just pulled from the ground; to feed a hungry family; to produce vegetables that are expensive to buy; to try exotic types or have a greater choice than is on offer in the shops; or to enjoy their decorative effects. Whatever your reasons for growing vegetables, expert vegetable grower Joy Larkcom's book contains everything you need to know to create a highly productive, beautiful vegetable plot. Joy's authoritative, clearly organized and easy-to-follow advice covers every aspect of vegetable gardening, including preparing and looking after soil; manures, composts and fertilizers; growing techniques; pests, diseases and weeds; protection; and planning and making good use of space. The second half of the book provides cultivation information for over 100 vegetables, including for each site and soil requirements, cultivation, pests and diseases, and cultivars. Comprehensively revised, the book now includes unusual vegetables from the increasingly wide range available today, new varieties and modern techniques, and up-to-date research. It addresses the concerns of 21st century gardeners and is totally organic in its approach. A joy to read, it is a classic guide for today's generation of vegetable growers.
