Reviews for Container Gardening: The Permaculture Way: Sustainably Grow Vegetables and More in Your Small Space

"The truth in permaculture principles is demonstrated by Val�ry's ability to apply them in a way not thought of as permanent--her balcony container garden. Ingenuity and a gift for growing shine through in this relatable and informative book.--Angela Judd, author of How to Grow Your Own Food Val�ry is a genius when it comes to incorporating permaculture principles into container gardening in small urban spaces, taking her inspiration from forest ecosystems and encouraging biodiversity high up in the city sky. After reading her book, I'm excited to explore all the possibilities in my own backyard garden.--Valery Rizzo, co-editor of Urban Farmers From soil to containers, from tools to the choice of varieties, and, above all, seeds, Val�ry Tsimba willingly shares the foundations of her appetizing small-scale urban permaculture . . . She encourages us to become, like her, gardeners of tomorrow.-- ""TopNature"""
