  Presents design ideas that allow the reader to make use of every inch of space. The book lists varieties of herbs and salad leaves to grow in pots; describes how sprouting seeds and rocket thrive on windowsills; and explains how to harvest cherries and melon from tubs, and grow celery, peas and parsnips in raised beds and fruit bushes in containers and on trellises up walls. By scaling down his knowledge of organic cultivation and permaculture to suit small spaces, Michael Guerra has produced charts of what will grow well in containers, advice on soil depths and all aspects of cultivation for the contained garden.
