Grow Your Own Fruit and Vegetables

Informationen zum Autor Lawrence D. Hills (1911-1991) was a British horticulturalist, journalist, and writer who founded the Henry Doubleday Research Association (HDRA), now known as Garden Organic. Hills' research into the Russian Comfrey plant introduced him to Doubleday's work in this field, work which Hills built upon and furthered. Gardening correspondent of the Observer for eight years, Hills' books included Fertility Without Fertilisers , Down to Earth Gardening , and Organic Gardening , but he was best known for Grow Your Own Fruit and Vegetables , which became a canonical text for gardeners and commercial organic growers. Klappentext Covering various aspects of fruit and vegetable growing! this work describes the treatment of each plant from start to finish. It features analyses of vitamin and mineral contents and nutritional values of different vegetables and fruits. It offers advice on picking! harvesting! as well as on cooking. Zusammenfassung Grow Your Own Fruit and Vegetables is Lawrence D. Where I find Mr Hills most stimulating is in his highly personal approach to fruit and vegetable varieties and his recommendations based on such commercially unfashionable criteria as flavour and food value.
