Garden Anywhere: How To Grow Gorgeous Container Gardens, Herb Gardens, Kitchen Gardens, And More, Without Spending A Fortune (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I thought this would be a little cute and puffy--you know, how to grow basil in an olive oil can, that sort of thing. Actually, Alys Fowler covers a lot of ground (ahem) here, addressing propagation, soil maintenance, pest control, seed gathering, and many other useful topics in an engaging and approachable way. And the book is pretty to look at. So, surprisingly, I enjoyed this book (and learned) much more than I expected. This book is really cool and inspiring. It focuses on gardening for those of us who are never going to hire a gardener: making do in rental spaces, community gardens, container gardening on your balcony without looking like a hobo...Lots of great upcycling and DIY suggestions. That said, I probably would have only given it four stars because it kind of made me feel like gardening skills are beyond me (which might be true). HOWEVER, the author earned an extra star when she referred to compost piles as "bacterial bonfires". Ha, awesome.
