The 'busy' gardener... No Time To Grow? is a book aimed at anyone who is too busy to spend as much time as they would like in the garden - and that's probably just about every one of us. Offering 'gardening solutions for a busy life', author Tim Wootton presents an easy-to-read handbook crammed full of practical information and good advice. He starts by saying that the book is for everyone who cares about the food they eat and points out that it is better to produce something than not to try. Through its pages, he demonstrates ways of working and thinking to enable the production of a relatively large amount of fruit and vegetables with a minimal time investment. Tim Wootton is writing from the experience of 20 years of the facing the challenge of producing his own food alongside the demands of work and family, from basic planning to making something delicious with the finished results, including Tim's Self-Sufficient Winter Fry-Up, home-made fruit ice-cream and traditional cider. This is from a man leading a normal family life, with 'normally excessive working hours'. How does he do it? Read the book and find out that it really can be achieved. Using organic principles throughout, the author proves that an hour's gardening a week can produce a good harvest, and shows you how to do it, with no stone unturned. This book is for anyone who wants to produce as much of the food they eat as possible, despite the pressures of modern life.
