Who Ate My Plants?
A Seasonal Guide to Outwitting Garden Pests and Nuisances
Andrew MikolajskiPostscript summary
This concise handbook offers easy-to-follow advice on how to identify and deal with the garden pests that afflict the vegetables popular among gardeners; flowers such as roses, lilies and dahlias; and lawns. Taking a seasonal approach to prevention, it recommends both chemical and natural solutions to destructive creatures as well as problems including fungal attack, drought, frost and disease.
Few hobbies provide the joy and dissatisfaction that come with gardening; every time a new season arrives, the promise of a beautifully manicured garden is interrupted by unwanted guests. From aphids to ants, squirrels to slugs and many more bugs besides, the havoc pests and nuisances can cause to our beloved garden is often irreparable.
RHS judge and gardening expert Andrew Mikolajski is here to show you how to handle pests, from season to season, and bring together the best tips and tricks for a hassle-free garden. Featuring simple strategies and easy-to-follow advice, this essential companion will show you how to identify these pesky critters and animals (and begrudgingly, their importance sometimes), and show how to garden without ever wondering, 'who ate my plants...?'.
