I want to say that a lot of the tips and tricks in this book were the kinds of things that, to a non-gardener such as myself, don't sound like less work. In reality, the most useful tips and tricks for my household came in the first six or seven chapters, leaving me to read the other, less home-oriented half of the book last. This means that I'm remembering the tips on an orchard cage, which my yard will never be big enough for, and forgetting all about the "don't turn your garden's dirt"...more
I learned some great short-cuts to my gardening. He presents several ideas on taking all the digging out of your gardening. The book focuses on how to do more for less in mowing, weed control, house plants, flower gardens, fertilizing, fruit, vegetables and what to do all year to make each season easier for you in the garden.
Not so great. Read this for ideas, but some of his theories are arguable at best. Good illustrations and photography.
This is a very pretty book, full of great advice, only some of which is applicable to my mediterranean climate garden. Still, I love the philosophy - pick plants that do well in your climate, and grow lots of them, rather than other things. Grow vegetables intensively, but without a ton of digging. Enjoy a weedy look. I was already doing many of these things, but I thought I was just lazy! Thanks for rationalizing my idleness!
