Sinopsis

Putting the brakes on runaway consumerism through &lsquo,freegardening&rsquo,... rethinking our addiction to high-dependency container gardening... exploring our growing prospects in a topsy-turvy climate... why pulling down garden fences can reboot biodiversity... how local and diverse &lsquo,earth centres&rsquo, could help gardening communities flourish... In this thought-provoking, cage-rattling collection of essays exploring gardening&rsquo,s place in nature, John Walker burrows deep into gardening&rsquo,s subsoil to uproot thorny issues, while encouraging gardeners to see their role as a force for good.This second book of John&rsquo,s earth-friendly garden writing was originally published in Organic Gardening magazine as his long-running and popular series &lsquo,Digging Deep&rsquo,.John Walker has been growing plants since he could walk, gained the Kew Diploma in Horticulture, and is an award-winning gardening and environment author, writer and blogger. Despite occasional squirrel-fuelled frustration, he is enjoying eking a new earth- and climate-friendly garden from a once bracken-riddled hillside at his home in Snowdonia, North Wales.
