Synopsis
Presents design ideas that allow the reader to make use of every inch of space. The book lists varieties of herbs and salad leaves to grow in pots; describes how sprouting seeds and rocket thrive on windowsills; and explains how to harvest cherries and melon from tubs, and grow celery, peas and parsnips in raised beds and fruit bushes in containers and on trellises up walls. By scaling down his knowledge of organic cultivation and permaculture to suit small spaces, Michael Guerra has produced charts of what will grow well in containers, advice on soil depths and all aspects of cultivation for the contained garden.

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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

(Doncaster, Yorkshire, UK.) - See all my reviews       This review is from: The Edible Container Garden: Fresh Food from Tiny Spaces (Paperback) 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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Bessa - See all my reviews    This review is from: The Edible Container Garden: Fresh Food from Tiny Spaces (Paperback) Well, this is a good book. Really good pictures, advices, design and plenty of inspiration and ideas for balconies, roofs, raised beds, window boxes ans such. I would certainly buy it. However, I did not give it five stars, since it lacks some chapter in following species-to-species treatment in containers. But do not get wrong with it, this book has a last appendix with tables and tables refering to conditions for growing all vegetables in containers, size of container, treatments, etc, but not the fully detailed history an details which I think the author could write. I would give it 4 to 4.5 stars. Buy it in combination with the "Bountiful container" And also to the five-stars "21st century homesteading"  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
