How to Grow, Select and Harvest Herbs
This book is suitable for all - the beginner as well as those more familiar with the subject. In this book Allan Moult constrains himself to herbs that are "life-enhancing". Those delightful plants we use to enhance our cooking, fragrant plants that perfume our day to day lives, and that curious group which provide us with dyes, soaps, resins, gums, insecticides and pesticides.
He covers the whole spectrum of plant life beginning with tips for getting started and advice for the novice; then on to the growing phase with practical advice on temperature, sun/shade, soil, fertiliser, propagation, containers etc. There are chapters on the many forms of herbal landscapes; cooking with herbs; and the use of herbs in craft and small business ventures.
