They exchange discoveries about climate, garden design, rare and common cultivars, soils, mulches, pests and numerous other details of concern to gardeners. They spice their letters with botanical myth and gossip, bits of local history and geography and custom, and compare favorite recipes for their edible plants. Among other titillations, Phillips tells her how he heated a ham in mulch, and Land describes her experiments with diluted urine as a greening agent. But every page in this chatty, exuberant book is a feast of tips and surprises whose abundance and utility well serve any gardener. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e__________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover with plastic-covered dust jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good (inscription on front endpaper).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePICK UP ONLY: 3CR, 21 Smith Street, Fitzroy, Victoria\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"3CR Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51373350289572,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/5593\/files\/3_000MileGarden.jpg?v=1780619184","url":"https:\/\/3cr-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/3000-mile-garden-by-roger-phillips-leslie-land","provider":"3CR Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
