Beschreibung

No matter how small the outdoor space you have, this book will get you started on a new way of growing.

Grow up! If you have limited outdoor space and would like to grow your food, this practical illustrated guide will help you transform previously plant-free zones into thriving, beneficial and utterly beautiful food-growing areas.

Using special containers, either bought or homemade, as well as conventional methods such as growing frames, wall boxes, hanging baskets and ladder allotments, you can grow a wide range of edible crops. This book also includes guidance on creating edible roof gardens and how to plan and grow crops on green roofs, including on sheds. There is also a directory of plants suitable for vertical growing - fruit, flowers and herbs as well as vegetables - with advice on how to cultivate them.

Whether you have an apartment with just a wall, windowsill, balcony or small flat roof; a school with nothing but a tarmac playground; or just a paved courtyard in your community centre, this book will get you started on a new way of growing.

Über den Autor

Sue Fisher began her career in commercial horticulture, training at the Hertfordshire College of Horticulture and going on to spend ten years in the nursery and garden centre industry. In 1990 Sue struck out on her own as a garden writer and designer. The BBC spotted Sue's passion for her subject and commissioned her first book within a year, and her features in the press won her the coveted Garden Writers' Guild trade press writer of the year. Her published work spans ten books of her own, contributions to a number of others with top gardeners including Alan Titchmarsh and Carol Klein, and a wealth of articles in newspapers and gardening magazines. Sue has broadcast on radio and TV and has lectured to many audiences, from garden clubs and societies to tour groups.
