Summary of Habitat Man
Worms have more purpose than Tim, and a better love life. They break waste down into rich fertile soil; Tim just makes the rich richer. Worms copulate for three hours at a time whereas the closest thing Tim has to love is his lesbian friend Jo. Salvation comes from Jo’s flaky niece Charlotte who asks him three profound questions. Inspired, he sheds his old life to become Habitat Man, giving advice on how to turn gardens into habitats for wildlife. Each new garden offers unique challenges, from Dawn the polyamorist who wants hedgehogs (and Tim) to the Wizard of Woolston wanting a habitat for bats and frogs. But the biggest challenge is Tim’s first client, the lovely Lori. Tim is smitten, but first he has to win round Ethan her 15 year old son. Tim loves his new life until he digs up more than he bargained for, something that threatens to bring out all the skeletons in his cupboard. Only Jo, Tim’s long-time best friend knows his secret, but can she be trusted?
