Both were down to earth gardeners but Geoff was very middle class wherea Bob struck a note with my Council house mentality!(13-10-2024, 08:34 AM)Small chilli Wrote: Of all the second hand gardening books you’ve brought, which have you found most useful ?Very few of them! Nobody gardens my way.
Joy Larkcom's "Grow your own vegetables" for basic essential information - like when to sow, spacing etc. No pictures, just words.
I like books about Forest gardening, perennial veg, polyculture, herbs.
Books with the words Design & Plan in the titles have no chance. Not a fan of TV gardeners although Bob Flowerdew and Geoff Hamilton are OK.
I'm not a fan of No Dig Charles either. All his books have the same information, jiggled about and regurgitated. .
