Praise for "Organic Gardening - The Natural No-Dig Way" and "Salad Leaves for all Seasons - Organic Growing from Pot to Plot"


“Just a note to thank you for sharing your knowledge so well. In particular the two books that I refer to all the time "Organic Gardening The Natural No Dig Way" and "Salad Leaves For All Seasons". My other "bible" is by an American writer and is called "Square Foot Gardening". To have fresh green leaves all year, eating them as they are virtually still growing plus knowing there are no chemicals on them is a delight. I retired early last year (through ill health) and running my own businesses the last 40 years could make no time to garden, now I have and it's delightful. I even have time to "Stand and Stare" We unfortunately lost our life savings in the Lehman Bros. bankruptcy so I will be having to work again from September (Photography and PR) but this time I will definitely make plenty of time for growing food.”
From Anthony D Baynes, email 7th April 2009
