Overview

Whether you've got a back garden, a balcony, a tiny courtyard or a patch of earth in a shared space, this book offers inspiration – and instruction – for growing good things to eat. The book has three sections: What plants need; an A-Z of Vegetables, Fruits and Herbs; and an A-Z of Pests. These instructional chapters cover everything from: why soil matters; composting; how to use pots and planters; how to select the right growing style; what to plant and when; harvesting; troubleshooting; pruning; and more. Reflecting the authors' no-nonsense approach to planting, the book combines instructional photographs, step-by-step illustrations and beautiful shots of the plants and schemes to make growing your own food both a joy and a doddle.
