Books that challenge (or challenged) the mainstream populsr ethos and Mark's book does the same.<br /><br />Due to him I have thrown off my non-edible grower mantle and have a number of perennial soft fruit plants on order and guttering in teh garage ready for growing micro-leaves. His book excited me about new possibilities instead of the usual edible growing instructions of planting distances, depths, disease bore bore bore, yawn yawn!Helen/patientgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164036792673009326noreply@blogger.com
