My Pumpkin Roof is meant to inspire, encourage and guide anyone and everyone to take charge and start growing their own food. It does not matter if you are a homemaker, a business person, a student, retired, male or female, young or old, young or old. It does not even matter if you live in a mansion with acres of land or have access only to a window sill- with a little bit of creativity and innovation- food can be grown anywhere. Use this book as a starting point to see the different ways you can grow food in different containers and spaces, understand sowing cycles, companion planting and how to nurture your plants. If you are motivated to take control of the one of the most basic needs of our existence, this book is a great first step.
Although it's too early for me to say how helpful this book is, because I just finished it and haven't started my rooftop garden yet, I found the book to be quite informative. It is simple and useful. There are nice touches added to the text like cute little illustrations and boxes full of inspiring stories about places with excellent urban gardening practices.
