Plant Love
The Scandalous Truth About the Sex Life of Plants
By  Michael Allaby

Get ready for the shocking truth about botanical sex. Who knew that bee orchids trick insects into having sex with them, avocado flowers are female one day and male the next, and some flowers are the insect equivalent of nightclubs where males and females meet and mate?

Bestselling popular science author Mike Allaby reveals over 200 of nature s most unseemly creations in this sensational exposé. The sexual antics of plants are far more varied than those of people and plants have preferences and techniques for which we have no equivalent. Being rooted to the spot, many rely on pollinators for assistance and forget birds and bees, we’re talking kangaroos, giraffes, and vampire bats.

Botanical illustrations throw light on the gallery of pimps, hookers and gigolos who may be lurking in your back garden and spice up this compendium of scurrilous botany which be warned may shock the worldliest of gardeners.

The Scything Handbook
Learn How to Cut Grass, Mow Meadows and Harvest Grain by Hand
By Ian Miller

A scythe is one of the most elegant and efficient hand tools available. It is ideal for harvesting many types of crops and beats a strimmer hands down in time tests.

There is a graceful, rhythmic quality to scything that once mastered can provide the ultimate mind and body workout. In this book, Ian Miller will teach you how to scythe from scratch. You will learn about assembly, perfecting the stroke, keeping the blade sharp, uses and aftercare.

A scythe can be used for mowing grass, harvesting grain, and cutting back wildflower meadows without disrupting wildlife. The hay and straw can be used for mulching and composting the garden or for food and bedding for household pets while small grains can used for bread-making and feeding poultry. T

he Scything Handbook will delight all gardeners, allotmenteers and smallholders who are tired of their noisy, heavy, fuel-dependent machines and looking for better ways to take care of themselves and their land.
