More About the Author

Bob Flowerdew is one of the world's most respected organic gardeners. For
over a quarter of a century he has been astounding other gardeners with his
Norfolk garden, where he has successfully grown almost every fruit,

rarely achieved at garden shows. He has been using his home-grown produce to
feed himself year-round for as long as he can remember.

In the U.K., Flowerdew is a regular guest on the Radio 4's top garden show
"Gardeners' Question Time," which is one of the longest-running gardening
radio shows in the world. He is the co-author of The GQT Tips and Techniques
and The GQT Plant Chooser. His other books include The Complete Book of
Companion Gardening, Bob Flowerdew's Complete Fruit Book, Bob Flowerdew's
Organic Bible, The No-Work Garden, The Gourmet Gardener, and Going Organic
(all of which have sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide). Grow Your Own,
Eat Your Own is his first cookbook. He lives in Norfolk, England. Visit him

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book!!!, June 12, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The No-Work Garden (Paperback)
I've read about "Lasagna Gardening" and "Square Foot Gardening", and all about Ruth Stout's methods. But this book has them all beat! It is so filled with practical ideas for making gardening not just easy, but productive and beautiful! I checked this out from the library and after just a day or two with it, I knew I *had* to have my own copy! Everyone interested in gardening should read this book; gardening does *not* need to be difficult!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous -- witty AND helpful!, February 17, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The No-Work Garden (Paperback)
I love the tone and the approach of this book. I've just read some books by Ruth Stout (a previous generation's evangelist of lazy gardening), and I must say I find these lazy gardening books delightfully written, with a good dash of wit along with practical advice.

Flowerdew does a good job of combining overall approaches (for example, advocating no-dig gardening over the sweat and toil of tillage) with very specific recommendations and tips (like putting small bottles over little seedlings to protect them and make weeding easier).

If the book were a bit more systematically organized, it could make a better reference for my gardening library. But it was useful enough that, after reading the book at my local library, I decided to buy a copy from Amazon.
