What a little gem this is.\u00a0 If you’re my type of gardener – one who doesn’t know his diatomaceous earth from his dolomite – this book is an absolute must.\u00a0 And if you’re already gloriously green-fingered, it will serve as handy resource to quick reference for unexpected queries or problems.<\/p>\n
I’ve discovered that gardening is a little like parenting.\u00a0 Newcomers to the endeavour are flooded with advice from all quarters, sufficient usually to addle the mind and prompt some sort of paralysis in terms of the fingers.\u00a0 There exists, an assumption that the human species must know how to grow plants – knowledge by osmosis, you might say.\u00a0 After all, croon lofty non-gardeners, plants grow free and wild as part of life’s great cycle, don’t they?\u00a0 As, we sigh.\u00a0 How far from reality is that!<\/p>\n
So, here at last is a book which happily proffers a steaming mound of advice, easily understood by all gardeners – L-plate or otherwise.\u00a0 As one of the former, who once boasted more horticultural failures than successes, I’ve been completely won over by Wally RIchards’s user-friendly approach.\u00a0 He’ll tell you only what you need to know, when you need to know it.\u00a0 There’ll be no confusing floral-speak here, no unwanted weeks in this bed of information.\u00a0 It’s inspired me to look over fences everywhere, and almost instantly know exactly what Wally-ism to apply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2323,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[142,17],"product_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neen.co.nz\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2322"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neen.co.nz\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neen.co.nz\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neen.co.nz\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neen.co.nz\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neen.co.nz\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neen.co.nz\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2322"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neen.co.nz\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
