An irreverent romp through the natural science of gardening, with eye-opening insight and practical guidance for getting the most out of your plants.

Outwitting weeds by understanding their nature
Making the best use of compost
Tips on pruning and orchard care
Why the dead language of Latin can make you a better gardener.
