My Tiny Veg Plot: Grow your own in surprisingly small spaces
£6.60
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.

This is just the job to get me started: the girlfriend and I are going to grow some produce this year. And this gives us some handy tips.
by Amazon Customer
Exactly what I was looking for -not too big; focused and manageable information.
No criticisms at all
by bookwoman
An interesting book with a few practical tips but more of a coffee table book, lavishly illustrated, lovely photographs and lots of tiny veg plots: on a shed roof, in the back of a pick up and so on. If you like sprouting seeds, quirky small containers and luscious photography, this is the book for you. If you want more than that and a much more practical guide, search for other books on container gardening. This one is more style than substance.
