Year-round and organic solutions

What I really appreciated was the focus on year-round gardening. I had no idea it was possible to grow fresh produce throughout the year, even in a small space. The book provides detailed guidance on which vegetables, herbs, and fruits are best suited for container gardening and how to care for them in each season. It takes all the guesswork out of the process.

I also learned a ton about soil, containers, watering, and drainage – all those essential things that I was overlooking before. The book also covers vertical gardening techniques, which are perfect for maximizing space on a small balcony. And it even addresses common plant diseases and pests, along with organic solutions for dealing with them.

This Book Has It All!

This book is a great resource for a beginner. I was so glad to have the companion guide because I loved the resource link that tells me what items are best able to grow where I live! Then the book had all I need. It taught me details on what the plants need to grow such as the right temperature, the right soil and the right container. It taught me how to avoid disease, which is always my issue! I am so excited to get started and to finally have a successful garden.

Makes gardening feel doable

I got this audiobook because I wanted to start gardening but had no idea where to begin. I have a fair amount of space, so the focus on container and raised bed gardening was exactly what I was looking for. After listening, I do feel that I finally get this gardening thing and way more confident about choosing the right soil, plants, and setup. I mainly want to start growing herbs in a small space in the corner of my backyard! The instructions were easy to follow, and make gardening feel doable."
