What is The Self-sustaining Garden : a Gardener's Guide to Matrix Planting about?

Matrix gardening is based on the concept of matching plants to places. When done successfully, Thompson maintains, plants replace activities that involve spades, rakes, and hoes as the controllers of what goes on in the garden. Certain plants establish what he calls self-governing communities. He says that these plants survive and grow simply because we leave them alone. He gives advice on establishing a matrix garden (including natural grasslands, garden pools and wetlands, and mixed borders); on pest and disease control; on soil care; on fertilizing; and on tree management. There are plant lists for each type of garden. This informative paperback is augmented by 80 color photographs and a number of black-and-white drawings
