• Crops in Pots: 50 cool containers planted with fruit, vegetables and herbs

    08

    There are few things more rewarding than picking your own homegrown ingredients for a salad, pasta dish or stew. The flavour of freshly harvested produce is far superior to anything you can buy in the supermarket. What’s more, you have the satisfaction knowing that it was your own handiwork, and you’re able to control whether or not to use chemicals.

    You don’t need a huge amount of space in order to get a worthwhile crop. A wide range of edible plants can be grown successfully in containers and many are just as much a delight to the eye as to the tastebuds.

    This book has 50 great ideas for growing fruit and vegetables in containers. Your hanging baskets, window boxes and pots will be colourful, beautiful to look at and produce plentiful crops.

  • How to grow amazing organic vegetables: How to use the 5 fundamental building blocks of Organic gardening to successfully grow your own vegetables

    08

    There’s a secret to successful organic gardening — and when you know what it is, your garden does all the hard work for you.

    It will perhaps come as no surprise that Jamie Oliver grows his own organic vegetables. After all, if you’re a top chef, you need the highest quality, freshest ingredients for your recipes.

    But access to high quality ingredients shouldn’t be limited to the top chefs.

    Growing organic vegetables is one of the most natural things you can do to cultivate a healthy (and delicious) lifestyle.

    Yet, despite the lure of clean, nutritious vegetables, completely free of harmful chemicals, many people are intimidated by the idea of organic gardening.

    • What about the pests?
    • How do I deal with weeds?
    • How will I keep my tomatoes free from disease?

      They’re all valid questions, and if you’re worried about them, you’re in good company.

      The majority of domestic gardeners still use conventional methods — and this means they’ll resort to weed killers and chemical slug pellets when their crops are under attack.

      But the beauty of organic gardening is that it’s all about prevention rather than cure.

      You’ll never be able to completely escape the odd snail or dandelion… but when you start your garden with organic methods from Day 1, you can significantly reduce your chances of running into problems with pests and diseases… and that means you’ll have far less reasons to even think about using chemicals.

      It all comes down to creating a self-nourishing environment that encourages biodiversity. Do that, and you’ll have a garden that supports your crops… so you don’t have to.

      In How to Grow Amazing Organic Vegetables, you’ll find everything you need to build a successful organic vegetable patch from the ground up. You’ll discover:

      • The 5 fundamental building blocks of organic gardening — and how to use them to build a successful vegetable patch
      • Essential tools and equipment for organic gardening success
      • The #1 component of a thriving organic garden — and how you can cultivate it in yours
      • Everything you’ll ever need to know about home composting (and why it’s essential for your garden)
      • Why crop rotation is your secret weapon in organic growing (and how to do it easily)
      • Seed-sowing tips to encourage a productive harvest
      • What to do to manage pests, weeds, and diseases (because not even the most ecologically balanced garden is completely immune)
      • Helpful harvest and storage tips so you can make sure all of your bounty is well-used
      • A month-by-month guide to successful gardening maintenance
      • Hardiness zones demystified (with helpful information for gardeners in the US, the UK, Australia, and Canada)
      • Detailed growing guides for the easiest vegetables for organic-gardening newbies

        And much more.

        If the idea of pest control and weed management has put you off the idea of growing organically, you’ve been missing the key principle of organic gardening.

        When you have a clear plan from the very beginning, you can make your garden do the work for you… and you’ll reap the rewards in the form of the tastiest, most nutrient-dense harvest you could possibly hope for.

        If you’re ready to turn your backyard into a thriving world of organic treats, then scroll up and click “Add to Cart” right now.

  • My Tiny Veg Plot: Grow your own in surprisingly small spaces

    07

    Food can be grown just about anywhere, and lack of space should not put you off growing and enjoying the taste of your own fresh vegetables.

    Not everyone has access to outside space or what we traditionally think of as a garden, but we all have window ledges, doorways, often stairways, sometimes even a balcony or roof space. This book offers solutions and inspirations for these tricky spots that we frequently overlook or neglect, and highlights some unusual growing spaces such as a minuscule balcony in Bristol, an innovative installation of hexagonal polytunnels full of salad leaves in Amiens, France, and an ingenious self-sufficient growing system that provides a wealth of vegetables in an old swimming pool in Phoenix, Arizona.

    Filled with practical advice, inspiration and planting and design ideas, My Tiny Veg Plot tells you how to prepare your beds whatever the size and situation; there is advice on filling containers, creating ingenious planters, using planting mediums, soil and water and which fruit and vegetables will thrive in which spot. My Tiny Veg Plot contains straightforward information on what to grow and how to grow it, from seed to ready to eat.
