Digging Deeper

By Paul Williams
Reed Publishing

The numerous garden makeover programmes on TV have inspired many people to take a greater interest in their gardens. Digging Deeper takes it one step further and encourages us to look beyond the hard landscaping of decking, paving and concrete and gain an intimate knowledge of the live elements in the garden. It delves into the mechanics of not only plant life, but the soil, the compost heap and a host of hidden processes and why it's not green fingers that guarantee gardening success but an understanding of what's going on under the soil and inside the plants. Great book, great photographs.
