Don't we all want to garden smarter? To grow more plants and be more time-efficient? And to have a healthier and more wildlife-friendly outside space? If so, then this book will help you get there in the easiest of ways.

Simon Akeroyd is a bit of a maverick in the garden who doesn't always dig by the rules set by the gardening establishment. His passion is to uncover and share all the fun and affordable shortcuts to growing you might never have otherwise known about.

Inspired by his hugely popular social-media short reels, Simon shows how to do myriad gardening activities for little or no money, but always with great results. Whether it's planet-friendly ways to remove weeds or growing edible plants for free, making your own tools or deterring slugs, or using spent wood ash or planting bulbs ' there's something for every gardener among his most popular hacks.

This latest book by one of the leading practical gardening writers gives step-by-step information on how to be both time smart and savvy when you garden.
