As aptly categorized in the foreword: "This is gardening at ground level, history with (you might say) dirty fingernails." The late son of the Huxley dynasty of scientists chronicles the derived-from-agriculture gardening techniques and implements invented and used across cultures and the centuries (everything but power mowers it seems). Huxley also considers more recent trends: greater numbers of leisure gardeners optimizing smaller lots, growing from seed, and organic gardening. Includes numerous bandw illustrations.
