This is exactly what I was looking for in a container gardening book!! My favorite part is the last third of the book, which lists individual veggies followed by what size pot to use, how to plant, how to harvest, what bugs to watch out for...I also really like that the author marked which vegetables actually do better in a container than an earth garden. This book has filled me with enough enthusiasm to attempt to re-start my sad, failed herb garden...I'm sure I'll regret this. About ten years ago we moved back to the inner city from the country, where we grew everything imaginable in our huge garden. We have a fairly decent sized backyard (33x40) for a Centretown lot, but I'm always looking for new ideas to enable me to cram in more vegetables and fruits. While I'm not big on the idea of planting in plastic, those tupperware containers are clever! I've got the bins and power-tools... all I need is some good earth to replace the road dust that makes up our garden. I gave this book five stars just for the bins alone, but as Tarah said in her review, Edward C.Smith is the man!
What do You think about Vegetable Gardener's Container Bible (2011)?
Great book for container gardening. Useful chapters, informational but not too overwhelming.
