Any Size, Anywhere Edible Gardening: The No Yard, No Time, No Problem Way To Grow Your Own Food

by William Moss

Overview

From the host of HGTV’s Dig In: “If you live in limited quarters, are just starting out, and want to grow most-likely-to-succeed plants, have a read.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

Edibles continue to be popular choices for gardeners, and beginning gardeners are no exception. Author William Moss takes a beginning gardener through all the steps needed to grow vegetables and fruits in any setting, regardless of the available (or desired) size. This book covers container gardening, vertical gardening, raised-bed gardening, and traditional methods to help gardeners everywhere bring a taste of homegrown freshness to their gardening experience.

“Moss offers ideas for finding space to garden, techniques for creating and maintaining gardens and basic growing information. The bulk of the book, however, is dedicated to details about plants that grow well in compact spaces, with an entire chapter devoted to that all-time favorite, the tomato.” —Akron Beacon Journal

“Besides the usual how-to information, Moss offers a chapter that focuses on different types of small gardens, ranging from a container or trellis on a balcony to a small backyard or plot in a community garden.” —Country Gardens Magazine
