5.0 out of 5 stars Very Inspiring, excellent, 20 Feb 2001
I have been looking around for a book on this subject for some time and this one certainly didn't disapoint, it is very well put together with gorgeous photography and practical advice, there is also a section dealing with each plant in turn for quick reference, which is very useful. From the title it isn't obvious that the author includes information on raised beds, so it makes the book relevent to practically everyone who wants to grow food in anything but the traditional allotment type way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Limited space?, 27 April 2007

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
I have an allotment, but only a very small one (about the size of a small garden) and so I can't just go planting masses of everything.

This book is fantastic at showing how the maximise the space you have to make it as productive as possible.

As well as suggesting ways to plant, it deals with looking after your plants and treating them to ensure you get a good bounty from your veggies!

Detailing each plant and how to deal with it, with good photography and a nice down to earth (if you pardon the pun) explanation - this book is a great addition to anyone wanting to grow veg without having to get rid of the lawn to do so!

Thos book will inspire you. It really is amazing how much food you can grow in small containers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic gift !!, 4 Dec 2008
I bought this book for my boyfriend last Christmas as I knew he was interested in starting a container garden on our tiny balcony. He had absolutely no previous gardening experience. I have to say I have been amazed at the wealth of crops he has produced in just one year! He raves about the book. It has been a big inspiration that our table has benefitted from enormously!! In particular he loves the index at the back which he refers to regularly. It doesnt sit on the shelf; it is always around the lounge or kitchen as it is constantly being referred to! It was a very sucessful gift and a great book for anyone thinking of starting to grow crops in a limited space. It has revolutionised our miniscule balcony into a garden of Eden! My only problem is finding another book he will like so much for this Christmas......
