Tips From The Old Gardeners: As is the gardener, so is the garden [Hardcover]

Duncan Crosbie (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 20, 2005

As research has begun to show, a surprising amount of gardening folklore is actually true! Tips from the Old Gardeners offers hundreds of good ideas (and a few not-so-good ideas) about what to plant and where to plant it, which plants and animals will ward off garden pests, and which plants can serve as homeopathic remedies, plus quite a few belly laughs for contemporary gardeners -- "If you want to know when to sow, take your trousers off and sit on the ground!"

The book arrived very quickly by first class mail. I was pleased. I was surprised that the book was so small. Obviously I didn't read the dimensions. Other than that, the book was as described.
