内容简介

Ever since she was old enough to help her grandmother in the garden, Sharon Lovejoy has spent her life working with plants - and along the way, through "trowel and error", she's accumulated hundreds and hundreds of remedies, tips, short-cuts, and cure-alls. TROWEL AND ERROR collects all of her homespun garden advice into an inviting, environmentally friendly, whimsically illustrated yet dead-on helpful book that will benefit every gardener, beginner or experienced. Cure plant viruses with sour milk. Steep a natural and effective insecticide out of fresh basis. Place flat stones under squash or melons to hasten ripening. Sprinkle baby power over seedlings to discourage rabbits.
