Hall's modern approach to natural healthy foods and medicines as well as conservation and anti-pollution makes this book perennial. Simply and clearly written, it tells all that you need to know about growing herbs and using them for health and beauty, flavouring foods, improving the soil and control of garden pests. It's about fresh herbs for the good life in a day and age of artificial favourings, preservatives and pesticides all doing their damage to our health and the natural environment. Potions and cures of ancient times still have value today: did you know that fennel can help you slim down? Or that yarrow and comfrey will halve your compost-making time? Mint can help soothe indigestion, and basil keeps flies out of the kitchen. Keep your roses pest-free with chives and ants will be repulsed by pennyroyal. Illustrated by Astra Lacis.
