The Thrifty Gardener

In a world of climate change and stretched purse strings, every gardener is having to re-assess not only how they garden but how they spend their money. Even the most experienced gardeners are craving a thriftier way to garden – one that is less wasteful and more productive.
This comprehensive book shows you how to save waste and money in all aspects of you garden. From learning how to improve your soil and planning your garden with longevity in mind, to choosing the right ‘unkillable’ plants for your garden and learning effective ways to produce new plants by using what is already in your garden. This book isn’t always about spending less, but concentrates more on spending wisely, so that your garden doesn’t cost you unneccessary expenses.
With Mark Lane’s expert advice, tried-and-tested plant suggestions and practical tips and tricks, this is the fuss-free guide to becoming a thrifty gardenener.
