Another book to swap
« on: December 30, 2006, 00:11:05 »
I too have a twice-bought book I'm happy to swap for... er... something.

Would you believe, going through my receipts, both purchases were only about 4 weeks apart - maybe I should ask for some memory cells if anyone has any to spare!

Anyway the book is part of an RHS series; it's called Growing Vegetables, by Tony Biggs. It's a 190-page paperback, about A5 size (so not too bulky). Good info, clear diagrams and a really useful month-by-month guide at the back:  what to sow (both indoors and out), plant, harvest, and routine tasks.

If you want a look, you can see it here:

Lesson for life:

I wonder where the author gets his information that 'The yield and quality of vegetables from dug plots is far superior [to that from no-dig plots]'.

Cheers, Saddad, I feel so much better! And if I'm given any memory cells, you'll be first on the list for sharesies!
