Reviews for Beginner's Guide to Successful Container Gardening: Grow Your Own Food in Small Places! 25+ Proven DIY Methods for Composting, Companion Planting, Seed Saving, Water Management and Pest Control

Review: As I have been building my permaculture nursery I have been pondering how to encourage people to start gardening; even if they don't have a yard. This book is the answer! This is an easy read with how well written it is yet has enough information that I would love to use it as the textbook for a small/container gardening course. This is an easy book to recommend and will be the first book for sale in my nursery. Jonathan Van Allen - Certified Permaculture Designer and Edible Landscape designer
