註釋For centuries mankind has recycled items, maintaining and repairing until the tools are fully worn out before considering replacing them. It is only since World War 2 that consumerism has really taken hold, giving preference to an endless stream of shiny new products made from manufactured materials. Today, pressures on income, the rising costs of energy, and growing environmental problems are forcing us to change the way we consume. For gardeners, there is plenty that can be done to help the environment, and recycling offers tremendous opportunities and benefits. A little bit of thought and imagination will save the planet as well as your pocket. In this brand new practical guide, accomplished gardener Angela Youngman outlines a clear strategy on how to do just this. With a range of imaginative ideas, as well as more straightforward solutions, this guide will help you to achieve the garden of your dreams whilst caring for the environment as well. Basic principles such as effective methods of water conservation are covered, as well as more unusual suggestions for recycling household waste for use in the garden, reusing items to create essential tools such as compost, watering containers, cloches and storage containers. With detailed advice, and a selection of inspiring photographs and how-to diagrams, this fantastic new guide will help you to save both money and time, and will transform the way you garden for the better.
