This is my best friend (especially down on the lottie itself, when I can't reach my pc to howl for help on A4A!)

I've never bought a new book. I recommend scouring the second hand shops. I've got 83 books on gardening in the past two years, some good some bad.

I beg to differ- asa complete beginner I found the Caroline Foley book didn't give me enough detail.

I still refer back to Bob Flowerdew's Organic Gardening book, good detail and great info on recycling and soil preparation.
