Since returning from England in 2023, I decided to stop reading the news every morning with my coffee and started reading my gardening books as my morning ritual. I have not read most of my gardening books from cover to cover. But since I changed my habit, I have finished over a dozen or more. So I am starting a new series about my book collection.
First up a book I have had since my City College Horticultural days. It is a simple premise that doesn't require a full book to understand although there are good ideas throughout, mostly for vegetable gardening. Mulch your soil with hay and over a course of three years, you will see a dramatic improvement in your soil. I am one that believes that I am really tending to the soil and the plants are on a separate level.
