Recommended: Square Foot Gardening
This is a book I bought about 15 years ago YIKES….it is still a great book.
Mine is a little worn and definitely has had some use. Looky a garden plan
I wrote on the back of a fax cover sheet in 1993…sigh. I didn’t have my own
garden then, I leased one from the city. The Pea Patch is a great thing for
apartment dwelling, gardening lovers; 400 square feet 40 bucks a year
it kept me sane for many years. Its the best therapy in the world after all.
(Gardening I mean of course) Oh wait this was about a book recommendation.
Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew has fantastic tips for small spaces.
It has an entire chapter on vertical growing, things I never thought of putting on
a trellis before. There is all the usual fare of pest control and watering,
propagation and controlling weeds. If you are planting in a small space or just
want to cram more into the space you have I recommend this book.
