Book Content:
Blurb -
"Science has begun to show that a surprising amount of the gardening folklore of our ancestors is actually true.
For instance -
Roses love old banana skins near their roots - the skins contain phosphates, calcium, magnesium, etc., in which many soils are deficient.
If you cut yourself badly, wrap yarrow (achillea) round the wound - it contains blood-clotting chemicals which stop it bleeding.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away - apples contain pectin which has germicidal properties.
Duncan Crosbie takes a moderately straight-faced look at old gardening tips which can prove helpful - or in some cases should be avoided."
