Wood, Brick & Stone

This book is about making the most of what you already have in your own yard. Throw nothing away and spend the absolute minimum!   Phil Thane guides us step by step through the tasks required to convert that neglected patch of land into a desirable zone in which we can relax on those balmy summer evenings.   Beginning with the basic bedrock of soil and composting, he goes on to refurbish or rebuild those tired walls, lay perfect weed free paths, patios, gravel areas and lawns, source, repair and make garden furniture and construct decked areas, sheds, gates, doors and architectural features, both refined and rustic!  Each project is illustrated using photographs and hand drawings with measurements where appropriate. The ideal book for the thrifty gardener!
