The Thrifty Gardener

Reduce Waste, Spend Wisely

Mark Lane

Description

In a world of climate change and stretched purse strings, every gardener is having to re-assess not only how they garden but how they spend their money. Mark Lane shows you how to save waste and money in all aspects of your garden.

  • Understand your garden and it’s four key characteristics – temperature, soil type, wind, and sun – to make informed decisions.
  • Plan and design your garden with cheaper and more sustainable materials and learn how to budget effectively for larger projects. Take stock of what you already have, set a budget before you start, and know when to call in the professionals.
  • Choose plants that will thrive in your soil, are easy to propagate and give maximum reward. By choosing the right plants for the right place, your garden will flourish.
  • Care for your garden year-round with effective seasonal tasks. Discover how to grow new plants for free with Mark’s step-by-step guides to techniques such as seed collecting, layering, and stem, leaf, and root cuttings.

Full of clever tips, low-budget ideas, expert advice and tried-and-tested plant suggestions, this book is as much about attitude as it is a gardening guide.
