Starting a herb garden is made easier with this guide, which advances new techniques, dispels common herb growing myths, and clarifies the basics for creating healthy, vigorous plant starts for a herb garden. How to sow seeds directly into the ground, start seedlings indoors under lights, induce stem tip cuttings to root, and create new plants by dividing and layering are all covered in detail. An abundance of colour photographs ensure success even for the brown-thumbed beginner. With updated information and an expanded format, this is the only gardening book that herb lovers need.
