‘The problem of plastics is one of the many major environmental challenges of our age. Gardening, generally seen as an activity which is good for the environment and for the humans who practice it, but the use of plastics in garden pots, furniture packaging and crop protection needs to be addressed. Plastic Free Gardening is the first book on the subject and covers pots, crop protection, tools, propagation and much more. It is sobering to realise how much plastic is used by gardeners and how much cannot be reused or recycled.’

‘An excellent well-researched reference and the first book on how to reduce the use of plastics in horticulture. The author offers practical solutions to one of today’s key environmental challenges for gardeners. ‘

Both long and short reviews: Ken Cox, Author of Woodland Gardening, Garden Plants for Scotland, Fruit and Vegetables for Scotland.
