Here's The Real Truth About Gardening Myths From A Retired Market Gardener

I've spent most of my life as a market gardener, farms manager or amateur gardener and I've heard so many gardening myths, legends, folklore and worse. It's as if gardeners believe they must set themselves a Herculean task list that they must complete before being accepted into the gardening fraternity.

This fallacy is often perpetuated by other gardeners that maintain the stories because they have never bothered to check the facts themselves. In fact, it's often hard to discover the truth as some books also perpetuate these gardening myths, without any evidence except the author also read it in a gardening book and repeated it!

So much gardening "accepted wisdom" ,even from old gardeners, is often simply wrong. That’s where this book started. I saw so many myths that led gardeners astray, ruined their crops or just created unnecessary extra work for them, that I wanted it to stop. So I set out to write a series of website articles that I’ve now pulled together into this book. Here I set out to expose the myths, explain why they are myths and get the facts explained.

Of course, there are old gardeners with great wisdom. But they are the ones that rely on facts, and not myths, to run their gardens.
