Join the Flowerpot farming revolution! You don't need acres of land or even a big garden to enjoy your very own home-grown, fresh garden produce. The balcony, backyard, patio or even the doorstep can all be turned over to vegetable production. Flowerpot Farming shows you how to create an orchard on the patio, grow new season potatoes out of gags and offers a continuous source of seasonal vegetables throughout the year. This resourceful and informative reference book details all you will need to know to turn your slabs of concrete into your very own grocery store. With plenty of advice on soil preparation, tools, maintenance, the best seeds, the best planting times and plenty more, this book will encourage everyone to get started in 'flowerpot farming'
Jayne Neville first got 'hooked' on growing vegetables when she lived in a terraced house in suburbia, orginally using grow bags on her patio to grow tomatoes. She is now a market gardener running a successful box scheme and providing fresh vegetables from her smallholding in Lincolnshire, England, to local shops.
