Grow Your Own in Pots: With 30 step-by-step projects using vegetables, fruit and herbs Paperback – March 6, 2018

Been gardening in the ground for years. Moved to new location and did not have time or space to prep ground soil for a decent garden. Had heard about this method, so ordered this book. Very well written and easy to understand. Full of good tips. My first year using the book for my mentor, I had a pretty decent crop. This year will be a Great crop/

Very useful, I have now grow tomatoes, arugula, basil, cress, radish and sweet peppers.

I'm very pleased with the book. Price was right too.

very informative book for the beginning gardener. will enjoy it for years to come. would recommend this book highly. thanks

Very helpful book. Full of great ideas.

Simply and straight forward,Really enjoyable.

This is an attractive, well designed book. It makes you want to start growing things in pots.It does, however, propagate one startlingly bad idea.The author advocates putting drainage material - "crocks..., stones,gravel and pieces of polystyrene packaging" - in the bottom of pots to increase drainage.This is a horticultural myth; it doesn't work. In fact, it makes the situation worse. Water will not flow through a fine material (potting soil) into a coarser material (gravel) until the fine material is completely saturated. Imagine a sponge resting on gravel. If you pour water into the sponge it will not flow into the gravel until the sponge is thoroughly saturated. This effect is called "perching", where the water sits in the soil above the gravel , creating a soggy, root suffocating bog. Just of the opposite of good drainage. For a more complete description of this effect see - http://puyallup.wsu.edu/~linda%20chalker-scott/horticultural%20myths_files/Myths/Container%20drainage.pdf

Colored photos and good information. I've done all container vegetable gardening this year and it's been great. Wish I had done it sooner.

Great book. So useful if your interested in growing veg/ fruit in pots. For each veg or fruit gives advice about size of pot to use and how to grow veg/fruit. Also gives recommendations on the best varieties to grow in pots. Very informative.

As a first-time balcony 'haver', I was really excited to use my space as a garden. The book is very detailed and helpful. Thank you.

The ideas in this book are clear, concise and doable. I have tried many of the suggestions and by Sept. I will know if these ideas actually translate into fine edibles for me and my husband!

Ha ganado el premio al mejor libro técnico del año en 2013, en materia de horticultura. Se lo merece. Existe edición en español. Muy práctico, didáctico y con buenas fotografías. Se trata de plantar y cultivar las hortalizas en tiestos.

Good
