Dave Hamilton, co author of The Self-sufficientish Bible, has written a good introduction to gardening in both a money and environmentally efficient way, covering not just the propagation of fruit and vegetables but also peripheral subjects such as foraging, manufacture and sourcing of materials of garden buildings and hard landscaping, wildlife and tools. This is a friendly book: Hamilton assumes you know nothing and takes the reader gently through beginning with a section on getting started and then moving through a season by season guide to planting, harvesting, seed collection and construction. Each section is very well presented with plenty of headings, diagrams and step by step instructions. A great book from which both complete beginners and indeed any gardener can learn.
