Gardening Advice

 


Gerald M. Knox. Lawns, Groundcovers, and Vines (Better Homes and Gardens pamphlet 1988) Nicely done summary on the topic, good photos, useful information, but no warnings about invasiveness of some of the plants described. Good reference for a beginner, good reminders for the experienced gardener. Begins with the “fundamentals” (soils, water, fertilisers, tools), then treats each title topic, and wildflowers and summer bulbs. The climate zone map that ends the book is drawn in black and white, which makes it hard to read. Good buy if you find it at a yard sale. ***
