Library


We are building up a resource section in the Wildfowl Centre relating to all things gardening from composting to planting for wildlife.

 

Some of our members have books that you may find useful. This list will be constantly updated as more members add their books.

 

Here is a list of some of them :

The Vegetable & Herb Expert


allotment book I must say that is the most helpful and descriptive fruit and veg book I have ever read.


It tells you everything from crop rotation to harvesting and techniques plus clear illustrations and a disease chart for the veg with pictures and descriptions.

Allotted Time


allotment bookIn this book you will find the truth about not only the joy an allotment can bring to even those who have given up trying to find anything worthwhile to care about, but also the hard toil that it demands.

 

It won't fool you into thinking it is a journey of pure ease and happiness; Robin Shelton writes also of the tantrums involved in digging, digging and more digging, the fury in battle against bindweed - the most evil of all things that grow - and the devastation when not all your tender-loved seedlings survive.
