In other Sections there are explanations of how to train cane fruit. Depending on the fruit there is also information on planting and distances, fruit thinning procedures, manuring, with each fruit section always ends with a table highlighting 'Pests, Diseases and Disorders'. The last 2 sections of the handbook are 'Common Fruiting Problems' and a pretty comprehensive review of 'Pests and Diseases'. Covered are fruiting problems such as unscheduled blossom and fruit drop, and fruit split, while the 'Pests' part includes extensive use of photographs to illustrate each problem. This is ideal for novice gardeners or would-be fruit growers unfamiliar with the nasties which may lurk among the sods and clods of the fruit garden.
Accompanying text provides possible solutions.
So, what do we make of 'Grow Your Own Fruit' by Ken Muir. Well, at just 4.99 it could be one of your best gardening investments. It's a great reference source of experienced gardeners, but especially useful for inexperienced folk perhaps setting out on their first fruit growing adventures.
