Food can be grown just about anywhere, and lack of space should not put
you off growing and enjoying the taste of your own fresh vegetables.
Not everyone has access to outside space or what we traditionally think
of as a garden, but we all have window ledges, doorways, often
stairways, sometimes even a balcony or roof space. This book offers
solutions and inspirations for these tricky spots that we frequently
overlook or neglect, and highlights some unusual growing spaces such as
a minuscule balcony in Bristol, an innovative installation of hexagonal
polytunnels full of salad leaves in Amiens, France, and an ingenious
self-sufficient growing system that provides a wealth of vegetables in
an old swimming pool in Phoenix, Arizona.
Filled with practical advice, inspiration and planting and design ideas,
My Tiny Veg Plot tells you how to prepare your beds whatever the size
and situation; there is advice on filling containers, creating ingenious
planters, using planting mediums, soil and water and which fruit and
vegetables will thrive in which spot. My Tiny Veg Plot contains
straightforward information on what to grow and how to grow it, from
seed to ready to eat.
