This book takes the guesswork out of gardening. Expert gardener Paul Williams introduces you to the garden close up and reveals why it's not green fingers that guarantee gardening success, but an understanding of what's going on under the soil and inside the plants.
Answering questions such as 'Why does too much water kill a plant?' and 'What makes a flower pink instead of blue?', Paul shares the knowledge that gives professional gardeners their winning edge. As well as exploring the extraordinary and beautiful mechanics of plant life in the soil, he explains how plants have adapted to survive in inhospitable climates and how they propagate and combat disease.
Inviting you to get up close and personal with your garden, 'Digging Deeper' includes spectacular photographs revealing the delicate structure of plants. From the moisture trapping downy hairs on leaves and the intricate tracery of veins to the tangled roots that search deep into the soil, you'll discover that there's much more to your garden than meets the eye.
Written with a true gardener's passion, 'Digging Deeper' encourages both the veteran and the novice gardener to take a closer look. In doing so, it lays the vital foundations of knowledge that gardeners can draw on time and time again.
