About the Book

This book shows people how to create an eco-friendly garden from scratch or by redeveloping an existing garden. It is practical, simply written and based on the author's own first-hand experience and knowledge amassed during her work as editor of Grass Roots, Australia's most popular selfsufficiency magazine. The author's aim is that readers gain the confidence and knowledge to develop a garden that suits the needs of their family in an environmentally friendly manner and for little cost.

About the Author :
Mary Horsfall has over 30 years experience in organic gardening, including 23 years growing self-sufficiency food crops organically in a dry-summer environment with only dam and tank water. Mary is an editor and writer for Grass Roots magazine, where she has worked for 18 years. Mary also wrote Creating Your Eco-friendly Garden and Fabulous Food from Every Small Garden.

Review :
"Australian garden writer Mary Horsfall shares her experiences in developing an environmentally friendly landscape on a suburban site in north-central Victoria. Although garden styles and native plants may differ significantly from those on the North American continent, her guide is full of practical advice for gardeners everywhere. She emphasizes the importance of encouraging biodiversity and directs the reader into planning and planting in order to attract wildlife. The text includes tips on obtaining plants; soil preparation and construction; the best time to plant; alternatives in irrigation and drought protection; and finally, safe methods of disease and pest control. A useful glossary, a listing of drought tolerant plants, and full color illustrations coordinated with instructions are appealing features in this publication."-- (03/01/2009) "DIY meets eco-warrior on the domestic front. Good read with great ideas."-- (01/01/2008) "The ultimate success of the eco-friendly garden depends on continued development of healthy soil, encouraging biodiversity, trying companion planting, rotating crops, physical removal and exclusion of pests, traps and lures, and homemade and commercial organically acceptable sprays. These topics are well covered in much detail."-- (08/01/2009) "Water efficiency, biodiversity, soil conservation, use of native and biodiversity-friendly plants, organic methods, use of recycled materials and avoidance of environmental weeds are themes that feature strongly throughout the book, and which will appeal to gardeners with strong environmental values."-- (01/01/2009) "Mary Horsfall's book Creating your Eco-Friendly Garden is an excellent introduction to all aspects of this topic for the first-time gardener as well as providing many useful hints for the more experienced."--Eco News (10/01/2009)
