About the Book

The 20-Minute Gardener is a hands-on, user-friendly guide based on low-maintenance organic techniques that puts the fun back into gardening as well as the money back into your wallet. This book represents gardening for "the rest of us." It covers everything from choosing the right plants (ones that are easy to care for) and shopping for them, to designing your garden without graph paper and getting rid of pests (see Chapter 9, "Peter Rabbit Had It Coming"). All in just 20 minutes a day. In addition to the basics are Tom and Marty's easy-to-follow, inexpensive 20-minute projects, such as "A 20-Minute Nocturne, " in which a workaholic/commuter (in this case, Marty) can create a garden that he/she can enjoy after dark, or "Rooting for Roses, " in which Tom tells you how he takes cuttings from the most self-sufficient, well-adapted, and flourishing roses around - for free! Finally, there are tips and lists galore. Find out how to read a fertilizer label, what kind of tools to buy (note that Tom says don't listen to Marty on this one because he "thinks the scuffle hoe is a square dance he did one time when he was down in Texas"), and how to make the most of your neighbors' kids, and read "Tom's Sixteen All-time Favorite Connoisseur Plants" and "Marty's Top Ten Garden Plants" (number one: grass).

Review :
"Listen carefully when you pick up this book. With its publication hundreds of years of gardening literature come crashing to a halt, tumbling to the ground, landing in a very undignified position." --Dora Galitzki, "The New York Times "The garden world has found its own Click and Clack, and not a moment too soon. Just when American gardening was starting to take itself a bit too seriously, along come Tom Christopher and Marty Asher, with this subversive, hilarious, and arguably even useful how-not-to." --Michael Pollan, author of "Second Nature and "A Place of My Own "From the Trade Paperback edition.
