Publisher's Synopsis
Shows how one can reduce the amount of work needed in the garden, in easy stages and without massive replanting or extensive redesign. It gives advice on labour-saving techniques and details of the tools that can take some of the back strain out of gardening. It also suggests useful ground-cover plants and weed-suppressing mulches. The back pocket contains fault-finding lists to show which areas of the garden might be worth rethinking and plans for particular parts of the garden demonstrate how to reduce the work they require. Illustrated throughout, the pack also proves that low-maintenance schemes can still provide good displays.
