Organic gardening in tiny spaces
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
If you want to grow your own food, but don't have any space, this is the book for you. Even though it's set in the UK, and I live in Australia, I found plenty of ideas that I was able to use to successfully grow food in a 2 square metre plot behind my house. There are lots of different options shown (eg rooftop, indoors, balcony, pots), with lots of colour photographs. I liked that there was a focus on design as well- not only should the area be productive, it should look attractive.
What a breath of fresh air

Living in a small space with no bed to call my own I picked up this book and read it. It was wonderful! Lots of information on gardening specifically for the urban dweller. The photographs were wonderful, as was the writing. Included information on raised beds, regular beds, container gardening, fruits and vegetables, flowers, and anything else the city dweller might want to grow. Also included really interesting information on pollution and its effects on the urban dweller's garden and information on pests and what can be done to control them. There was also a heavy influence of organic gardening and how this might be done in the city.An excellent book all around, it's become my new favourite gardening book.
