[Marini Nakandala]

Great book for gardening beginners

This is a great book for beginners in gardening. It has all that is needed for someone to gain enough inspiration on gardening such as choosing the soil and watering plants.

[Alyssa Humann]

Helpful info, lots of good resources in the back. It read like gardening tips from a friend

[Laura]

A great and easy-to-read (and apply) handbook for the city or apartment dweller who wishes to begin growing organic fruits and vegetables, but has limited space to do so. Also, great for the beginning gardener. Includes some great resources, too, for obtaining heirloom seeds and plants (i.e., non-GMO and non-Monsanto-sourced), as well as other tips to assist the organic gardener, including recommended soil and pot types. I received this as an e-book through a Goodreads giveaway, with no obligation.

A quick tutorial to get you started and boost your knowledge

This was a very short and sweet beginners book to guide you into becoming a avid container Gardner, I learned some interesting tidbits and now want to study more about composting and natural vitamins and homemade plant food recipes

[Gwen]

This little book is just what I needed to get over my fear of planting my own container garden. The information is easy to understand and not overwhelming. Too many books I've read throw too much information out there. With this book, and the convenient check list supplied, I feel like I can start gardening tomorrow.

[Barbara]

This is a fairly short, basic book on container gardening. If you are a total novice it is a great introduction to the wonderful world of gardening. It has good information without being too "technical."

[Ashley (Red-Haired Ash Reads)]

A great and quick resource for container gardening. I am going to try to have a garden this year (container garden). I felt this was a very helpful start and wasn't overwhelming. It was straight to the point and gives some easy vegetables to start with.

[Abi]

A good amount of basic information for beginners

Covers all aspects of indoor container gardening, and the organic pest control is very useful. 4 stars because some of the links in the resource section are incorrect or outdated.

[Joe]

Don’t bother. I’m a fan of the idea of organic gardening but this book is too focussed on ‘GMOs bad’, ‘fertiliser=poison’ and ‘get Monsanto out of your garden’.

I love the idea of growing organic vegetables but I don’t want my information to come in such a highly politicised way.

[Sarah Atkins Mascorro]

Great beginners book

Lots of great tips in this book. I don't have a green thumb so these are pretty great things to try. I was hoping for some fun types of things to use to grow plants in but it only showed a couple.

[Robin]

Organic container gardening, even indoors

Basic, practical with resources and specific recommendations. For a short book it packs a lot it. I enjoyed it and will go back to look at the resources.

[Melody]

[Carol]

Very informative and easy to read.

[Susanna Rodriguez]

Quick. Easy. Informational

Great read on getting started with container gardening.

This sentence is because I still need 12 words to submit review

[Brenda Huntsman]

Informative

[Tracy Jennings]

Good book

Great info and not a long read. I use pots to put my plants in so this was a great guide.

[Katrina]

Easy Read

Has a lot of good information. Gives the basics of container gardening. This is a really good beginner's guide. This was an easy read

[Abbey]

Towards the end of the book, there are quite a few pages that list so many resources as to where you can get seeds, seed swaps, groups, and websites. That alone was worth the book!

[Janet Tinsley]

Very helpful tips

Easy to read full of useful tips, enjoyed reading this little book gave me good ideas to try for myself

[Enrico]

Okay, but the writer is so anti-GMO. If only the writer open their eyes to the wonders of genetic engineering.

[darla hambelton]

Good for beginers

Good background information for someone starting a garden.It has a lot of things that you need to consider when beginning a garden.

[Ann Reid]

I found it easy to read, down to earth and informative. For Australian gardeners I would add a worm farm for manure tea, but her tea is also easy to make and use.

[Lanche]

Wonderful book. I think that a sail from Shadeg Shade Sails would make any garden look artistic.

[Tarin Súilleabháin]

Not a fan of the fear mongering.

Being immediately hit with fear mongering about GMOs and unscientific info about organic foods turned me off to this book immediately. No thank you, I can learn to grow veggies somewhere else.
