No matter how small your space is you can always find
ways to have an urban garden. I have resided beds and containers so I had to
see if this book could help me advance more into smaller spaces since my husband
always complains about mowing around my gardens. LOL
This book is very detailed and will help you get into the new age of urban gardening, it’s so much better to know where your food is
coming from and gardening in any form can help relieve stress. You get great images
along with detailed information that will walk you through step by step and if
you look up the author he also has a website with tons of information that will
help you.
I highly recommend this to anyone that is new or advance gardening.
