An Ear to the Ground: What's Going on in Your Garden?

Do you have a clue what's actually going on in your garden?We call ourselves a nation of gardeners but few of us have any idea, and still less understanding, of the science that is happening before our very eyes. How did plants get to be the way they are? Why do they have pretty flowers? Why are Latin names so complicated, and why Latin anyway? Why is a weed-free lawn an ecological impossibility?Expanded for this new edition, An Ear to the Ground gives the answers to these questions and many more. It shows how a little botanical knowledge can bring not just better results, but peace of mind . . .Thompson, Ken is the author of 'An Ear to the Ground: What's Going on in Your Garden?', published 2008 under ISBN 9781903919200 and ISBN 1903919207.
