The No Work Garden

There are thousands of (expensive) books out there about gardening - and quite a few about organic fruit and vegetable growing. Confusing isn't it?

During the weeks up to Christmas, I'm going to tell you what I think about just NINE of them. That means only the ones I've found:

1. Really useful during the last two and half years OR
2. Hugely entertaining (and suitable for Christmas gifts?)and/or
3. Good enough to spend my own money on!

(BOOK NUMBER ONE) is Bob Flowerdew's 'The No Work Garden':

Bob has a few books out there. This one does exactly what it says on the tin, he tells us 'how to get the most out of our garden with the least amount of work'.

I most valued the way he dismantles some of the conventional myths you hear about gardening, in particular about autumn digging. Alright we know that some people like it. We also know that you need to get your perennial weeds out and compost them carefully. But once that is done, you can really start the transition to a no dig approach, save your back and work more efficiently.

'Keep your eye on the ball' Bob says. 'If you want tasty veg, but your neighbour grows prize winning specimens, don't be distracted.'

There's more information and reviews on the Amazon store link. Yes, you're right - it is advertising and I do earn a small commission if you buy there.

I'm working for free right now - most bloggers know how long it takes to get a successful blog up and running. So if you like 'Questioners Garden Time' and plan to buy one of these books, support me and buy it via the link!

Alternatively, drop a heavy gift hint with your loved ones or ask for it at your local library:
