Abstract:
"From the creator of the wildly popular website and YouTube channel 'Vertical Veg' comes the complete guide to growing delicious fruit, vegetables, herbs and salad in containers, pots and more - in any space at home - no matter how small! If you long to grow your own tomatoes, courgettes or strawberries, but thought you didn't have enough space, Mark Ridsdill Smith, aka the 'Vertical Veg Man,' will show you how. Make the most of walls, balconies, patios, arches and windowsills and create rich, beautiful and delicious homegrown food (indoors and out) - and put the savings back in your pocket. In just one year, you can grow 90kg of food worth £1000! With quick, proven results from his ten years of growing in all kinds of containers and teaching people how to grow bountiful, edible crops in small spaces, Mark will show you how gardening in containers is not just a hobby, but a way of creating a significant amount of delicious, low-cost, high-nutrition food."-- Provided by publisher.
