Customer Review: A must for the serious gardener and professional alike.
To put the review into context I should explain a bit about myself: I’m a part time student, studying Landscape Architecture, who works as a senior architectural technician in an architectural practice. I bought this software to help me identify plants to include in my planting schemes for University. This software has far exceeded my expectations. A significant part of its development seems to have been based on the end user interface, making it easy to use for all. It contains a mine of information on each plant (complete with a choice of photographs). And simplifies the process of choosing plants for virtually any condition or aspect, to a degree where it almost becomes effortless. A bonus of the software being devolved in the uk is that the plants are specific to our(uk) planting zone, alleviating the need to carry out additional filtering of information, which I know from past experience, is the case with software developed outside this country. I took the software to University for my tutor and fellow students to see, they were impressed enough to buy copies for themselves. A well considered product that has been thoughtfully developed, a pleasure to use.
Customer Review: Great Product and great support
I bought this for my Dad. He wrote: “Being a complete novice on the computer scene, when using the cd-rom the amount of information available seems to be very daunting, but with some careful thought and a quick chat to mr.Neil Bromhall,the cd compiler,every thing fell into place. From garden conditions to pruning the plant it covers the full gowing cycle. For a computer and gardening beginner it’s invaluable, even if you’re thinking about buying plants just check them out first to see if they are compatible with conditions in your own garden. No more using reference books,just log on and away you go. The after care service about any problems is excellent you even get to talk to the man himself.”

Solar Water Heating: A DIY Guide
List Price: ?7.99
Amazon Price: ?7.59
Used Price: ?5.77
Customer Review: Excellent, concise, practical
This 24 page booklet provides all the information needed to build and install a DIY solar heating system. The author is knowledgable and his text is pleasingly free from from padding and dogma - e.g. he suggests the ideal location and orientation for a solar collector then continues to specify a range of measurements within which the collector’s performance won’t be adversely affected. The time I saved in not having to plough through pages of irrelevant Google results (as one other reviewer suggested) is worth far more to me than the modest cover price of this book. Probably the best “how to” book I’ve read.
Customer Review: Not worth ?5.99
This book / phamplet is ok IF it was ?1.99. With a bit of effort you can find all the information in this book via google. The design of the solar collector could be better and i’m not convinced that this book concentrates on a great design. Overall at ?5.99 it is overpriced and the same information is probably available in an ebook for 99p on eBay. Informative for the complete novice.

The Home DIY Expert

Customer Review: Handy paperback guide
A lot of DIY and home maintenance books these days seem to be more concerned about interior design and how to make interesting features out of MDF, so when I was having problems with my central heating I was determined to find something which provided some more nitty-gritty information. Thankfully The Home DIY Expert fitted the bill. Although a little old-fashioned in layout, it does provide the practical tips you need to do basic house repair tasks. In my case, the diagram of how a domestic heating system works, despite looking like something from a GCSE science textbook, allowed me to get a better understanding of how the various parts link up. And after getting a ?80 plumber’s bill, at least now I’ll remember to bleed my radiators.

Customer Review: Gardening made fun!
What a fantastic little book this is! I couldn’t put it down. I have been gardening for many years and yet I still found this book a really fascinating read and will find it a worthwhile addition to my gardening library. It contains a whole host of amazing tips that I can’t wait to try. The author has taken a gentle, humorous approach and has kept the terminology simple which will make it very accessible to novice gardeners as well. The cartoon illustrations are great and give the book a life of its own. There are some useful plant lists for different situations which have the plants listed with both common & Latin names making researching and ordering them at the garden centre an easy task. This is a quality book that I can see every gardener eventually owning and, at ?6.99, excellent value!
