Two good books which approach organic gardening from different directions came my way recently. They are far from new but they are still in print so they deserve a mention.
Jackie French’s The Wilderness Garden (Aird Books, 1992/2007) was welcomed enthusiastically after a quick look. The Introduction begins, Beware of the gardens of the righteous! Or, ‘How never to weed, feed or dig your garden again.’ How can anything bad follow that?
Tim Marshall’s Bug: the Ultimate Gardener’s Guide to Organic Pest Control (ABC Books, 2010) impressed me immediately, too, because his introduction to our small wildlife was so lucid and positive.
Bug: the Ultimate Gardener’s Guide to Organic Pest Control
Tim Marshall has been a leader in Australia’s organic gardening movement for decades and has written a book for any organic (or want-to-be-organic) gardeners needing to know more about the bugs in their garden.
