'If you've ever wondered whether it was possible to grow food in a relatively small space then this is the book for you. ...I wish I'd had a copy of this book when I started out. If you've never had the confidence to grow your own food in a confined space then this book will be a godsend to you. It will get you started without a lot of expense and carry you through the inevitable queries that you'll have.'www.thebookbag.co.uk. 'This is an excellent book for the gardener short on space. It covers everything from planning how to get the most from a small area through to harvesting time. It's written in non-technical terms and is a pleasure to read.

We thoroughly recommend this book for the amateur patio gardener and believe that even experienced gardeners will find it very useful.' www.gardenaction.co.uk. 'Ideal for the complete novice.'
