It provides practical information on soil preparation, gardening gear, and planting techniques, as well as chapters devoted to those old wrinkly favorites, the greenhouse and patio pots and containers. If it's a perfect swath of green that you're after to make you the envy of your wrinkly friends (and foes) then this book fits the bill, covering lawns, borders, growing fruit and vegetables, and much more, for every bored wrinkly's delight.
