    Can you give me a name of a book that lists plants food requirements. e.g. lime or acid food or maybe gerneral fertilizer.

    Yates books are well written with lots of great advice. The Garden Cook book really should be in the hands of every gardener and or cook. Straight from the garden veggies are so much nicer and in this book there are great recipes. Thank you Yates for my free copy.
