Easy to follow steps

We moved into a new house with a garden and wanted to make sure the garden could produce some vegetables for our meals. The audible was well narrated, easy to follow and provided great information which we are putting into action, with great success. Highly recommend.

The new Cabbage Patch Kid!

I am very grateful this book was gifted to me! I have taken over my mum's allotment and have been struggling to harvest my veggies with success. The book is comprehensive and packed full of information to help any novice gardener. I loved the chapter on understanding soil, my goodness I did not know how important it was! It is a fun listen with so much knowledge...and they say knowledge is power! ...A must listen!

Takes the guesswork out of gardening!

This is exactly the book I've been waiting for all my life! I've always dreamed of cultivating a successful garden so last year, I planted my first garden and it wasn't as successful as I had hoped. This year, I decided to educate myself on the finer details of gardening to buid a solid foundation for the many happy years of gardening I have ahead of me. Thanks to this book, I have a clear understanding of soil science and feel confident that this year's garden will be way more successful. I especially found the free gardening calculator useful to make sure I wasn't adding too much compost to my soil. What a great find! Anyone wanting to create the garden of their dreams should listen to this book!

Very good resource!

I recently got into gardening and this one is an amazing resource that will definitely help! I try to get advice from others but it gets overwhelming, this book takes out the hassle with the great tips that are covered! Some of the material that it touches on are excellent fundamental tips such as preparation and what challenges that you may have experienced and how to avoid these mistakes. I also appreciate the segment on water distribution, I always wanted to know if I'm doing it properly so I can be consistent in maintaining quality. The narration was done well and the pace is good so the information is simple to absorb. Highly recommended to all gardeners regardless of experience as there's always something new to learn!
