There's a lot on decorative plants, not my forte as a gardener, but I don't recognize most of them. A lot of photos of exotica. I think the book is rather bloated with pretty photos. It's too heavy to hold comfortably, yet not big enough in surface area to make a good coffee table book.
The author explains in the preface how the photos come from a year of her garden and a plethora of others. If she explains her philosophy of gardening I missed it. From the title I expected some method of garden digging, but it's just a title. In skimmming the book I found a confusing mixture of compost, all-purpose artificial fertilizers, systemic pesticides (she says dormant oil spray is one, must research that) and encouraging insects in the garden. Not organic but not super chemical-dependant either.
I can't rate it, I'll leave that to the Aussies who can evaluate the horticultural information.
