the little book of garden villains the little book of garden villains
Allan Shepherd

Every gardener has their bugbears, or should it be bugs to bear - slugs, aphids, vine weevil and the rest? Now The Little Book of Garden Villains helps the green gardener get to grips with the mighty garden pests that wage war on plants.
Imbued with author Allan Shepherd's fresh style of garden writing, 'The Little Book of Garden Villains' makes light reading of a serious subject. Inspired by 'Dad's Army', it's an amusing pocket-sized book that describes pest control methods with tongue firmly in cheek. Find out if you are a Commander, Soldier, Defender or Pacifist when it comes to pests. And when the aphids attack; don't panic! There are ways of making them cease their feast. Cultural, biological and mechanical pest controls are described; plant and soil care, companion planting and barrier methods are also covered. 128pp
