Big Yields, Little Pots: Container Gardening for the Creative Gardener
A complete guide on container gardening is now at your fingertips.
If you are short on space, or if you have the soil from hell, or if you have a hard time stooping and bending, then growing vegetables in containers is the solution for you. Now, it's not going to yield enough to raise a family on (unless you really, really, really go to town on this), but if you want to talk about improving the quality of your life, the fresh herbs and tomatoes and strawberries ripening on your balcony will do the job.
Your container vegetable garden will take a small investment of time and effort, but anything good does. Patience and practice in gardening will yield the best results.
This book covers
Choosing the right container
How to start seeds (and combat damping-off disease)
Soilless mixes and their elements
Fertilizer, watering, climate, trellising
And this book will dig into the different kinds of vegetables that grow best in pots – best methods for each crop – best varieties for containers.
This book is the essentials guide to container gardening for beginners and also for seasoned gardeners who have been around the block a few times.
I'm a former horticulturist. I've managed greenhouses, maintained 300 roses in a city rose garden, worked as a landscape laborer, a perennials potentate, a landscape designer, and planted trees, shrubs, and plants all over an entire city. Now I write gardening books because it's easier on the back, and every day in summer I give thanks for air conditioning. Yes I have become a wimp. But I really like writing books, and I have tried to pack as much good information in here as possible.

About the Author

Rosefiend Cordell (aka Melinda R. Cordell) has been a municipal horticulturist, and has worked as a greenhouse manager, a perennials czar, a landscaper laborer, and a landscape designer through her career, and she ran a public rose garden with over 300 roses (mostly antique roses). Now she writes books (it's easier on the back) about what she's learned over the years in gardening. The maple that she's posing with in her author photo is one she planted in the parks system in the late 1990s. Good times!

Rosefiend Cordell is her gardening book pen name; she writes epic fantasy with dragons under her real name (you can read those as well, hint hint).
