It's full of common sense ideas that everyone could use to enjoy keeping their
garden in trim on limited time and energy - and with a small child or children
in tow, that's about all mothers have left for it!
For example, check out the 'no-dig' method of growing vegetables, and see how a
bit of planning will avoid 'overdoing it'.
And how's this for good advice :
- Having clover, daisies and other weeds in the lawn will keep it greener
in very dry weather. Just cut a path through the lawn for access, and you
can allow the rest of the grass to grow longer.
Just don't forget to behead the dandelions before they go to seed!
