Digging Deeper: Understanding How Your Garden Works

by Paul H. Williams

Take the guesswork out of gardening! An expert presents a spectacularly photographed close-up introduction to what's going on under the soil and inside the plants. Here are the answers to such questions as "Why does too much water kill plants?" and "What makes a flower pink instead of blue?" as well as the inside secrets that give professionals their winning edge. Amazing images show the delicate structure of plants, from the moisture-trapping downy hairs on leaves and the intricate tracery of veins to the tangled roots that search deep into the earth. Understand the beautiful mechanics of plant life-how they adapt to inhospitable environments, propagate, and combat disease. Gardeners will draw on this knowledge time and time again.

[Fatih Kuru · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book have many useful information, photos and tips. Starting soil, season, seed as a tutorial. The book not a simple gardening or "how to do" book.
