Synopsis

Presents a bounty of advice, tips amd homespun gardening knowledge most of which has been obscured by time and memory. This book looks at the 1990s grandparent whose generation have been described by the author as the last of those well-versed in gardening advice. The author, Bernard Schofield, argues that this generation were the ones who knew how to cultivate and nourish the soil, who were attuned to changes in the weather and who knew simple and inexpensive ways to fight garden pests and diseases. "Scientific gardening" with its chemical fertilizers and pesticides is no longer as relevant to a society that wishes to save the environment. It is therefore important, argues Schofield, that such a book helps people to rediscover the simple and natural methods of the past.
