Challenging established practices can be difficult, particularly when they are based on widely accepted yet potentially flawed principles. In gardening, numerous such "myths" persist—some with historical roots, others without clear origins—often complicating what could be simpler, more efficient methods. Common examples include debates surrounding evening watering, the necessity of pottery shards for container drainage, or the compatibility of cucumbers and tomatoes when intercropped.

In his insightful and engagingly illustrated book, Charles Dowding addresses these widespread gardening misconceptions by critically examining the rationale behind conventional advice. He demonstrates how overturning these often-unsubstantiated "rules" leads to more successful crops and validates the triumph of common-sense practices.

"Gardening Myths and Misconceptions" is a compelling and practical resource. It promises to optimize efficiency for experienced gardeners and instill confidence in those new to the practice.
