Great read and very informative

This is a book-long advert.The book starts by talking about the different ways you can create a wildflower meadow - nothing wrong with that. But it talks a lot about the risks of using seed, and about the benefits of turf and the 'latest advancement' of an 'innovative' wildflower earth. When I looked up wildflower earth, it's only available from one site - the manufacturer's, who also sell turf.Again and again the book impresses the benefit of turf and earth. I started to get suspicious, and looking into the manufacturer in more detail I learned that the 'managing partner' is James Hewetson-Brown - the author of this book. He doesn't mention anywhere in the book his involvement in the products he's advocating - at least not that I could see.What's more, even if you did want to buy wildflower earth, you won't be able to as they only sell to trade. You also won't be able to get any costs form them - as again, that's only for trade.The second half of the book is case studies, some of which are interesting. But again, it feels like there's a general push for the author's own products. Nothing overt - but once I'd noticed it, I kept spotting it everywhere.Overall, this seems like a disingenuous book that's more for self-promotion than anything else.

Comprehensive coverage of subject with good pictures of the stages of wildflower field, meadow 'small area's development .

A present, look ideal for a novice wildflower grower.
