Begin Inheems (Afrikaans Edition)

A approach to indigenous gardening, whether you gradually replace exotics with local species, or start afresh, focusing on local plants altogether. These plants are a lot less work, generally use less water, need hardly any chemical fertilisers, require no pesticides and cost a lot less since you don't have to replant your garden frequently. Specially selected for being easy and fast growing, every plant in this book flowers, sometimes modestly, often flamboyantly. In addition to spectacular close-up photographs and detailed descriptions of almost 100 species, you will find interesting information on soil preparation, feeding, planting, propagation and maintenance.
