Hardback. Condition: Fine. The Big Book of Gardening (1964) by Charles Boff ? Odhams Books From Crappy Old Books ? because plants aren?t the only things that grow with age. A true horticultural heavyweight, The Big Book of Gardening by Charles Boff is 1960s gardening enthusiasm in hardback form. Packed with practical advice, hand-drawn diagrams, and charmingly outdated tips (ever buried rhubarb under a bucket for moral reasons?), this book is part instruction manual, part time capsule. Whether you?re cultivating cabbages or trying to remember what compost used to be made of, Boff has you covered?possibly in peat. Our copy has seen some weather?foxing on the pages, a faded spine, and the unmistakable whiff of shed?but it?s still blooming with knowledge. Crappy Old Books ? Weeds, wisdom, and well-worn wonders. Fine condition, not far from being near new. Hardback with clean dust jacket.
