Down-to-earth fruit & vegetable gardening in South Africa - Zoë Gilbert & Jack Hadfield

This book has been written especially for the home gardener in South Africa by two authors who are widely known for their sound and sensible gardening advice. Drawing on many years of practical experience, they provide detailed information on all aspects of growing fruit and vegetables, including guidance on: 

Garden planning and layout, spacing and planting fruit trees, sowing and transplanting vegetables, culture, climatic conditions, soul, fertilizing, pruning, pollination, crop rotation, harvesting, pests and diseases, and cultivars. 

Gardening calendars are given for both fruit and vegetable cultivation, enabling the gardener to plan the annual programme well in advance. More than 70 full-colour photographs illustrate the various fruits and vegetables, and numerous line drawings clarify important cultural procedures.

Whatever size your garden, Down-to-earth Fruit and Vegetable Gardening in South Africa is an essential companion that will introduce you to the enjoyment - and economy - of successfully growing your own top-quality produce throughout the year.
