Publisher's summary

This book emphasizes the importance of gardening and fresh vegetables. It beautifully explains how agriculture enthusiasts can fulfil their hobbies without technically requiring a big field or certain soil conditions.

Container Gardening:

This book encourages people towards the title. Surprisingly, many vegetables can be grown in such pots and can quickly fulfill daily vegetable needs. It is considered the most comfortable way because it is space-efficient; you can choose the volume of your choice and any geometry. It is the most suitable method for urban areas where having an actual garden is quite impossible. One does not have to worry about the environmental and soil conditions as it is useful in any conditions. So, those who are making excuses for not having a garden can now accomplish their gardening desires while having easy accessibility to healthy vegetables.

Planning the Container Garden:

Planning is essential in every aspect, and for this particular task, one needs to have a complete understanding of what he/she decides to grow. You need to know which types are you growing because it might have to do with the time it takes to succeed. For instance, one trying to grow tomatoes should consider its consumption before developing; otherwise, it may rot if used.

There are many examples, and take ESPALIER as an example; it is a tree grown against a wall.

Square Foot Gardening is another excellent example as it allows to divide of a limited space into a fair amount of vegetables.

It also covers the list of herbs that can be grown indoor. It thoroughly picks out herbs like Bay laurel, Chervil, Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary. To produce these herbs, you have to provide a suitable amount of sunlight along with water. Apart from it, proper feeding would help grow these herbs relatively faster.

• Individuals who want to decorate their houses with a natural look.

I would recommend this book

Informative, helpful, easy to listen to. If you want to grow plants like this, reading or listening to this book will help.

Highly informative and well narrated

This is a great guide to container gardening. It is full of information and encouragement for anyone who would like to raise food in a small space or an inhospitable climate; aspiring gardeners whose mobility or physical strength may be limited will find excellent advice for pursuing the joys of raising their own healthy, home-grown food. The narration was excellent, as well. I gave the story 4 stars instead of 5 only because the information contained in this audio book seems better suited for a visual manual. For instance, I didn't see how one could find specific growing conditions for a particular herb with this format. Even so, it is a highly informative listen. I would recommend purchasing the physical book as an excellent and useful reference.
