Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I got some book vouchers for chrimbo so am on the hunt for some good gardening books (Australia specific preferred) on the following topics:


Growing Fruit trees
Propagation
Seed Saving
Companion planting
Pests and treatment

I think the "The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia" by Louis Glowinski is good for fruit growing, though would like to hear other peoples recommendation if they know of good books. I've come across lots of average books, including numerous dodgy re badges of UK books where they change a few terms and push it onto the Australian market.

Thanks Matt

Not exactly in your want it to do but Commercial Hydroponics by John Mason (Kangaroo Press), if its still in print.

"Yates Garden Guide" may push Yates products but it is a good Australian focussed book and it isn't over the top with advertorials. Heaps of good info on just about everything and well worth having in the library for the price.

Im sure Faye will chime in when she sees this Matt.

Making more plants- Ken Druse

I came in here to recommend this book too.

It's the first proper gardening book I received, and was a massive help when I was starting out.

However, I find these days, the net has far more information available.

Did you find any good books you could recommend, Matt?
