  You do not need a garden to grow delicious and decorative vegetables, fruit, herbs and edible flowers. A balcony will do, or a rooftop, windowsill, houseboat, or small backyard. All you require is some basic know-how. From design to harvest, this book provides everything you need to maximise your outdoor space and transform it into a colourful edible paradise.

  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.
