Fantastic guide to growing, especially if you haven't got much space,
By
This review is from: Patio Produce: How to Cultivate a Lot of Home-grown Vegetables from the Smallest Possible Space (Paperback)
Like most people I'd read how growing veg can save you money in these difficult times but didn't think I could do it in my tiny back garden. We've got a strip of grass about 3m by 4m and haven't done anything with it, what with working every hour god sends to pay the bills! This book proves it's possible using a variety of ingenious methods - I've now got carrots growing in a bizarre drainpipe tree affair, lettuce in the window boxes and loads of potatoes in a stack of tyres. The instructions are really simple and clearly presented and the author is so enthusiastic you'll be rushing out to plant peas in your old gym bag! Really great excuse to get me away from the computer too, great book all round!

I feel like I can grow anything...excellent ideas!,
By Eleanor Wallis "Eleanor" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Patio Produce: How to Cultivate a Lot of Home-grown Vegetables from the Smallest Possible Space (Paperback)
I have several other books by Paul Peacock.. if you are trying to be more self sufficient --- this is the book for you.
He gives very practical ideas about stuff around the house that can be re-used in the garden.. Have you ever thought about planting carrots in an old drainpipe? It works fantastic...and a great use of space....He has a lot of ideas like this... He gives suggestions about flowers that can be planted next to vegetables so that the bugs eat the flowers and not your vegetables!... This is a guy that "walks his talk..." he lives by his own ideas...and is the magazine editor of a Sustainability magazine in the UK... Have fun gardening!

Excellent clear and logical help,
This review is from: Patio Produce: How to Cultivate a Lot of Home-grown Vegetables from the Smallest Possible Space (Paperback)
I am a very recent convert to growing your own and was somewhat daunted when starting out, but this book has helped me no end. It gives you everything you need to know about growing veg, does not assume any prior knowledge and is very logical and easy to follow. I initially used it for information on when and what to grow and size of pots etc. As I've grown in confidence with my growing, I have since read the book in more detail, and looked a bit more at how to get the best out of the space I have. I constantly refer to it for quick reminders and tips. I would recommend this to anybody growing their own veg no matter how much space they have.
