Description

The essential guide to growing fruit and veg in small spaces, indoors and out. No room for a veg patch? This book demonstrates how salads, vegetables, herbs, and fruit can flourish in pots in even the tiniest town garden, as well as on a balcony or windowsill. All the edibles featured have been specially chosen to grow well in containers and growbags, producing an abundant harvest. It shows how to make the best of a small space - planting hanging baskets with tomatoes, chillies, and strawberries and growing beans and other plants that will scramble up walls and fences. Packed with exciting ideas for design and practical growing tips, plants have been organised by growing conditions and key qualities to direct you to just what you need. Detailed advice for each crop includes information on suitable pot size and compost, location, planting up, pest protection, watering and feeding, and harvesting. Troubleshoot any problems that you may encounter using the handy help section and find solutions for common plant diseases and pests to keep your pots looking perfect. No matter how large or small your space, this book will give you all the information you need to create your own Garden of Eden. Previously published as "RHS How to Grow Plants in Pots".
