  Many of the questions in the book were raised by viewers of the TV series All Muck and Magic - interested gardeners wanting to develop and improve their organic gardening techniques. The answers result from the work of HDRA - one of the leaders in organic research methods. The authors explain the concept of organic gardening and how to convert an established plot, and cover such topics as pest and disease control, growing methods, and the use of manures and fertilizers.
