Bargain Books

Just a short post on good books for gardening and helpful people.

I've built up a collection of books over the last couple of years but they really don't break the bank, I've bought most of my books at less than half price in The Works bookshop. Just because they're cut price doesn't mean cut quality these are really ace books. Some like the Good Fruit and Veg Guide are RHS books, this book in particular shows every plant you could want in a edible garden and a guide on how to grow them, perfect.

Another great pair of books are by "Dirty Nails" who is a wildlife/eco friendly gardener and the books "On the Plot" and "Vegetable Gardeners Year" are fab, they take you through jobs that need doing every week of the year and what he finds along the way. Dirty Nails is fab and you can find him on Facebook where he's always willing to answer questions too. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dirty-Nails/174305439287?fref=ts

I don't think I have a book that cost me over a fiver and ones I haven't picked up in The Works are usually from World of Books, http://www.worldofbooks.com/ which sell second hand books for charity. They can be found on eBay too.

James Wong's book are also good but are more aimed at plants for medicinal purposes but he gives a great list of the essential plants you should have. For tips I like his Facebook page too. https://www.facebook.com/pages/James-Wong/172599712783088?fref=ts

BBC Gardeners World books are also good they're usually full of ideas. Also I pick up the odd magazine of Grow Your Own because they sometimes give away 5 or 6 packs of seeds.
