"In Molash, the couple, took up gardening, restoring a three-acre cottage garen, property. He wrote about this time in his memoir, From the, Waste Land, describing the transformation of his home, "Nut, Tree Cottages", into a prosperous market garden. Hyams stayed, in Molash until 1960, while becoming an increasingly avid, horticulturalist. During this time, Hyams also developed a, serious interest in viticulture, and in 1960 moved to south, Devon, to re-establish grape vineyards in England. He published, The Grape Vine in England in 1949, and edited a volume on, English viticulture in 1953, Vineyards in England. In 1965, Hyams published Dionysus: A Social History of the Wine Vine,, combining his passions for social history and viticulture, and, arguing for hybrid viticulture. Hyams' most famous work was, Soil and Civilisation (1952) , a history of farming which, advocated organic farming and came out against mechanised, agriculture. Soil and Civilisation has been described as an, early example of "environmental literature". It also included a, favourable depiction of the Incas. From 1959 to 1974 he penned, the gardening column for the Illustrated London News" (from, Wikipedia)
