Customer Review: Musical Cultivation
An organic ambient experience. For the first half of the CD Fila Brazillia manage to place jazzy, soul-styled and classical musical fragments layered over chilled beats to create an effortless sound. Then the processes, from “Butter My Mask” and “Wigs, Bifocals And Nourishment” are reversed as the CD veers towards a more techno-sounding landscape no-less captivating than the CD’s first half. Definitely floaty-light music.

Customer Review: Inspirational
My partner and I were inspired to build our own house by the previous version of this book and now we are in this one so I think it’s reasonable to call it inspiring. This is a book with substance and great coffee table pictures as well. A good mix of technical advice and the stories of self builders written by a self builder and very experienced green Architect.

Customer Review: It’s okay…
If, like me, you need an allotment book which assumes you know v little, but have already made the decision to work an allotment, don’t necessarily put this book at the top of your list. i didn’t need a chapter telling me why people have allotments. i didn’t need recipes. i didn’t need to know that someone has been labeled “the queen of herbs” by jamie oliver. i didn’t need a page on bees. i need a book that allows me to look up raspberries, rhubarb, potatoes, courgettes, or whatever, and be directed to a page with everything i needed to know about those fruits/vegetables, plus a section that outlines everything i need to plan for each season. the latter section is here, and it is *almost* acceptable, but it assumes too much prior knowledge. if, like me, you didn’t pick up a lifetime’s worth of gardening tips from your ancient relatives, e.g. you don’t know exactly how to “force” a vegetable, how to prune, etc., then this book isn’t the one you need. fair play to the guy - it probably does have a large audience and it’s good value for money - but it isn’t being marketed at its real audience.
Customer Review: Great for new allotmenteers…
..I got myself a plot on an organic farm ealrier this year. Apart from growing the odd thing whilst I grew up, I was starting from scratch. This book doesn’t go into great detail about every plant, but it isn’t an encyclopaedia of allotment plants so it isn’t to be expected. It does give excellent important notes for plants though and contains information about the whole allotment experience. There are photographs galore to inpsire allotmenteers, the calendar section has been a godsend to newbies like me, and the recipes section is great too (my wife used his carrot cake recipe and it was gorgeous! Thanks Heather!). He gives advise on companion planting, composting, storring your harvest, and many more essential matters. I learn’t a lot from reading his book, you can really feel his passion for growing fruit and veg, and this rubs off onto the reader.
