Use this journal year after year to make the best decisions, with your notes alongside Charles Dowding's suggestions for future reference. Advice in the diary section is linked to each week of the season, and takes you through the annual cycle, from clearing weeds, feeding soil, and sowing to harvesting and storing vegetables.
Advice on sowing and planting methods, plus raising plants at home
Best sowing dates: seeds neither fail in cold nor start too late
Advantages of no dig: saving time, fewer weeds and bigger crops
How to maintain control of weeds through timely mulching and hoeing
How to feed soil just once a year, for strong and healthy growth
When and how to make all the harvests, with advice on storing produce too
Charles' garden beds grow two crops a year, are cheap to establish and easy to maintain. His growing methods are easy to understand and work on small areas as well as large ones.
Charles' gardens are famous for the absence of weeds, and it's a fact that untilled soil, with a humus-rich surface, germinates fewer pioneer weed seeds. By feeding and favouring the life in your soil and working in sympathy with how nature runs things, you create a clear path to bigger harvests with less effort.
The diary explains these methods and weaves them into a timeline of action, to increase your success rate. Good timing is good gardening Book is most appropriate for zones 8/9, for other zones the dates need adapting: for example he has great feedback from zone 6 gardeners using his methods. And readers can flesh out the detail with his You Tube videos, where over half the audience is North American.

Описание:
The deliciously funny confessions of a debutante which became an international bestseller
It is the early 1960s, and eighteen-year-old Charlotte Bingham, fresh from convent school, has been catapulted into the horrors of The Season. Though desperately on the hunt for a Superman to call her own, the country house ball circuit seems to yield nothing but an inexhaustible crop of charmless, chinless Weeds. But Charlotte's adventures are more than sufficiently diverting: whether she's bouffing up her hair to try and pass herself off as a beatnik, hurtling down the Champs Elys es on the back of a Vespa, or accidentally sticking her eyelids together with eyelash glue while at modelling school, her experiments in coming-of-age are never short of intrigue - and disaster.
Published in 1963 when she was just nineteen, Bingham's sparkling memoir of her trials and travails became an international bestseller. From its pages emerges a deeply lovable and relentlessly optimistic young woman - for all that her shorthand isn't what it might be - looking for love in all the wrong places.

Описание: Some say a child is fortunate to grow up in a community with eccentric characters and plenty of opportunities to explore nature. Fran ois Meaux hit the jackpot. Born in southern Louisiana in a small town surrounded by rice fields, groves of moss-draped oaks, and the Gulf of Mexico, Frank soon learned to embrace the earthy, mysterious aspects of the Acadian region. In a colorful memoir, Frank details what it was like to grow up Cajun as a cotton-topped, intensely curious boy on a journey to manhood within a unique culture. His stories highlight his young life as he witnessed delights and difficulties, encountered the joyous and terrifying unknown, wondered about the unseen, and sought explanations for the unexplained. As his path led him through one experience after the other, Frank reflects on how the Cajun land and its inhabitants, like life itself, became nourishing yet mysterious, fertile yet frightening. Included are lagniappes that provide perspective as Frank looks back on his childhood and shares lessons learned as well as questions that remain unanswered. Blue Weeds is a coming-of-age memoir that creatively weaves a boy's experiences in southern Louisiana with the natural wonders, cultural uniqueness, love, and violence that surrounded the region.

Описание:
"The first step in deciding how to solve a weed problem is to correctly identify the weed species. It is for this purpose that this guide has been prepared, and the intended users are research workers, weed specialists, agricultural extension agents, and others interested in weeds and their control. This book will help to identify some of the nation's more common and important weeds infesting lawns, gardens, crops, pastures, ponds, and other areas." Originally published in 1970, this new edition has been updated to reflect the many taxonomic changes in both family assignments and in genus and species names. The guide has been completely reformatted for easier use, with plants presented in alphabetical order by plant family. Detailed illustrations by preeminent botanical illustrator Regina Olson Hughes depict both the overall plant as well as its flowers, fruits, and seeds. County-level distribution maps have been added for each of the more than 200 species treated. Our hope is that The New Common Weeds of the United States will be a valuable reference for anyone wanting to learn more about our weed flora and for those working to preserve our native plants and their habitats.
