Review:
but again, the RHS leads the field with its Encyclopedia of Gardening As a plain-speaking guide to digging, pruning, planning, pests and diseases, growing fruit and vegetables, not to mention wind and compost, it is hard to beat. Independent on Sunday (Sunday Review) plain-speaking and comprehensive, offering plenty of practical advice. The Week
