Advantages: Everything you need in one book. Disadvantages: Very Heavy.
practical and not too technical, it had to have ideas for garden design and not only the plants but how to care for them and what kind of soil or light they prefered, a lot to be considered.
Tht is how I found the R.H.S Encyclopedia Of Gardening.
This is a real Reference book not the kind of book you take into the garden, you make notes from it.
The loose cover is banded with black and has a close up of a plant, very nice and the writing is is Gold and White. At the bottom it states that this is the Revised and Expanded Edition. The Book is over 9 inches wide and 12 inches long, I must warn you though it weighs a ton, well a lot anyway.
The book itself is split into two parts,
~~~Part 1 - Creating The Garden.~~~
1 Garden Planning And Design.

Advantages: Refreshing, makes a great cold drink in the summer Disadvantages: Quite a bit of sugar - but perhaps not as much as some squashes?
comes in the usual clear plastic bottle that Robinsons package their drinks in, with the traditional deep green screw-on top. The label also features the green arrows-forming-a-triangle recycling symbol so the plastic would seem to be recyclable. Although I have seen Robinsons squashes, such as the apple and blackcurrant or the orange, in both 1 lltre and 2 litre bottles, I don't think I've ever seen the lemon barley water in the larger size.
One striking feature of the undiluted drink is that it settles. The ingredients on the label state that barley flour makes up 2.5% of the finished squash so I think that this ingredient must explain why, if the drink is allowed to stand for any considerable length of time, it is possible to see that a pale golden brown sediment (distinctly more golden than the milky lemon coloured barley water) forms ...
