Garden Book Review - 'Pots' by Harriet Rycroft

Hello and welcome to the first, of I hope many, garden book reviews - brought to you by the Tales From The Potting Bench podcast.

During the downtime between seasons of the main podcast (and periodically when there are amazing books released) I hope to bring you reviews of either my favourite garden related books or noteworthy new releases across the horticultural landscape.
This time its the turn of the smash, Pots by Harriet Rycroft. Harriet is a bona fide expert when it comes to container gardening and this is set to become a bit of a bible when it comes to growing in this way. I'll say no more and let the podcast do the talking, enjoy!
