Gardening in Small Spaces by Jack Kramer

Presents ideas, materials, designs, and plants to make "your small spaces work for you". Great help in planning any garden. Sections on "difficult areas" (entrance, atrium, sideyard), Rooftops and patios, terraces, mobile home space, containers, growing food (vertical!), herbs, special features (water and light), and indoors. Big section on plants listed by type -- hardy, annuals, perennials, bulbs, ground covers, vines, shrubs, trees and herbs. Concludes with a "Basic Gardening" guide with techniques to "make it easier". If you build your soil and mulch, your garden will not require constant attention or additives. [151]… (more)
