The Self- Sustaining Garden

The book explores the theme of combining plants successfully into self governing communities to create gardens that require less maintenance and less chemical controls. The universal principles of ‘matrix’ gardening are explained: how to establish what works in your garden, how to create a partnersip with your plants and use biological solutions to control plants and pests in your garden, and how to improve soil health. Chapters on different aspects of garden design from garden pools and wet areas, to mixed borders, grsses and appreciating and utilising shade are supported by case studies that describe how matrix planting can be used to solve gardening problems. 97807112287 191PP H/B with Dust cover
