Customer Review: Excellent
Title sums it up really. Bought as I was starting to renovate an old house. It’s got damp, needs bathrooms, kitchens, exterior problems etc…. This book helps a lot to indentify and solve these, at a minimum you know what you can do and when to call in the professionals!
Customer Review: How to do everything … in two paragraphs
There is no denying the scope of this book is, to say the least, comprehensive. It covers almost every topic imaginable in DIY from dry lining your basement to capping the chimney and covers it at every range whether you just want to change a fuse or rewire the entire building. That scope though is both its virtue and its problem. Yes I can pick this up and be fairly confident that it will tell me how to go about building a stud wall but I know that it is also likely to be something of an overview of the subject rattled off in a few paragraphs. Often that is enough. There are a lot of jobs where a grasp of the basics and a willingness to have a go are good enough and if I’m laying new paving slabs I’ll read this and go for it. Alternatively there are some jobs where I’d like a little more expertise than this can provide. Yes this book will tell me how to change the main fuse box but I’m not going to do that when it means working on the live side of a 100 amp line! In those cases though at least it lets me know roughly how difficult the job is so that I don’t sound like a complete numpty when I call an electrician and ask if they could replace the ‘thingummy by the front door with the fuses in it’. I’d say to anyone that they should buy this book even if you don’t ever intend to do the DIY yourself. If you do the DIY this is a good first reference to find out what to do. If it’s not comprehensive enough then it will give enough of an overview that you will know what to look for when searching for more detail and if you do get someone else to do the job you’ve a better chance of knowing if they’re doing the right thing.

Customer Review: Beware this CD out dated and now repackaged
I discover that this CD old CD was once called Romany Growing Plants and has now been re-packaged. Read the review in the March issue of Computer Active you'll see it says Romany Growing Plants is also available as Your Garden Encyclopedia from Focus. This program starts to wilt under close scutiny. First of all, the interface feels incredibly dated, and although the cover claims that the program is 'interactive' it can hardly carry this clain by modern standards. Quite what the use is of features such as a 10,000-yeal diary, address book and calculator escapes us, and while some ground is made up in the program's broad coverage of plant types and characteristics, there is a consistant lack of depth to the information. altogether this package falls short for anyone seeking real practical help in the garden, and at no pointdoes it feel like a product that has been designed with the UK gardener in mind.
Customer Review: Does not live up to expectations
This CD does not live up to expectations, I thought from the description that it it had a vast range of plants and information but it turned out to lack many of my garden plants. My overall impression was it is of inferior quality. It was not expensive and so has my two star rating.

Customer Review: A very good reference book
The one to go for - everything is covered in depth and the advice is sound (if sometimes a tad idealistic). If you want to know how anything is done in the garden or if you want to choose a gift for a keen gardener, then this is the one to choose.
Customer Review: An encylopedia that lives up to its name
At 750 pages, the new edition of the RHS Encyclopedia of Gardening is a real heavyweight - but it puts its bulk to good use by being thoroughly comprehensive. Gardeners of all levels will find something useful here, with sections covering everything from garden design and fruit tree grafting to water and container growing, cacti and succulents. There’s plenty of full colour photographs throughout to illustrate, and if you want to grow your own there’s plenty of detail in the chapters on herb, fruit and vegetable gardens. The book rounds off with chapters on propagation, pests and diseases and weeds, followed by basic botany. If you’re looking for a garden reference book, this is definitely one to consider.

Customer Review: Talks you through all tasks step by step
I’ve just moved into a house needing some TLC and bought this book, along with some others, to give me guidance on DIY. I’m not a complete novice, having put up a shelf or two in my time, but was looking for reassurance that I was going about things the right way. I found this book the most useful of the selection I bought. It talks you through a job, step by step, and gives you lots of advice, tips and tricks along the way. It covers every subject area, has far more information in it than the glossy colour books I bought, and explains everything clearly, without being patronising. It’s, in fact, quite an entertaining read! I recommend this to anyone about to start a DIY job.
