Dig It! (Paperback)

This title is aimed at those who've just moved into a new house and would like to put their own stamp on the garden, or those who are tired of what's already in place and want to make a change for the better, or even those who'd like to make their garden more water wise and environmentally friendly. Many people find themselves overwhelmed by the sea of information contained in some gardening guides, and are baffled by the gardening terminology and intricate instructions, where any straying from the rules is sure to be fatal to newly planted seedlings. Dig it! tells it like it is, in a straightforward, no-nonsense manner, with easy-to-follow text and great ideas that can be applied to any outdoor space. The pages are filled with inspiration and practical ideas, and everything one needs to know about planning a garden, preparing the soil, choosing plants, planting and caring for a garden is included and there are plenty of colourful photographs to illustrate each chapter. Plant finders for sun/shade, colour, style and indigenous plants are also included to help narrow down one's selection no matter what style of garden is chosen.
