DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to all future gardeners. I hope this book helps you learn how to grow a healthy, productive container garden.

CONTENTS

A re you dreaming of growing your own fresh food? Maybe you thought it was only possible if you had a green thumb or access to a large piece of land. Perhaps the idea of gardening just seemed too complicated or too expensive. Whether youve never grown anything in your life or have been mostly unsuccessful, whether you have a limited budget or live in an apartment, you can successfully grow your own food in containers!

Hi, Im Tammy. I started gardening at my dads side at two years old. Sure, the tools were a little bit too big for me to handle, but what kid doesnt love digging in the dirt? I vividly remember the pride of picking and eating all that food that I had grown myself.

Since then, Ive had the opportunity to continue experiencing that feeling of happiness and fulfillment through a variety of gardening methods, including traditional, raised bed, and container. Ive discovered that each method has its challenges, as well as a wide range of advantages and opportunities. Container gardening, in particular, is an excellent choice if you have limited room or are on a budget, if you want to try gardening for the first time, or if you just want to grow a new plant or two.

Container gardening is the practice of growing plants in containers rather than in the ground. The strategy behind it is quite simple: Take a container, put the proper soil in it, plant a seed, water it, and watch it grow. Of course, there are some tips and techniques that can help you grow your own food or flowers more successfully. This book will guide you through the simple but important principles to follow for a great crop.

Not only is container gardening simple, it is incredibly versatile. In addition to fruits and vegetables, you can grow an endless variety of plants, such as herbs and flowers. There are also so many containers to learn about and choose from, such as pouches, vertical containers, and planters.

With container gardening, you can start small, with just a few herbs on a sunny windowsill, or you can start with something larger, such as tomatoes, eggplants, or green beans. While you might not be able to plant enough of a crop to freeze or can, you can adapt to the growing conditions of your plants or change up the plants you are growing so you can enjoy fresh food all year round.

Container gardening is for everyone, including children and people with accessibility issues. This method puts a lot less strain on knees and backs than traditional gardening does. Some containers are designed at standing or wheelchair heights. There are even plant carts for larger pots so you can move them around for better sun exposure.

Container gardening is also more budget friendly than traditional gardening. You just need to buy your containers, soil, and hand trowel, and youre in business. No need for additional tools like rakes or shovels or big, bulky rototillers.

As you can imagine, weeding is much easier in containers due to the smaller space. Instead of a 40-foot garden row, you have a 15-inch planter! Its also far easier and more economical to water your container garden. You dont need to build or maintain irrigation systems, and a smaller garden requires less water.

In this book, youll see how anyone can grow their own food in a container garden. In the first part of the book, Ill guide you through how to get started with container gardening, from gathering the tools you need to choosing the right container and soil mix. Youll learn what you should plant and when, when to water and how, and finally, how you can successfully grow and harvest your crop. In the second part of the book, well explore the profiles of 30 different vegetables, fruits, herbs, and edible flowers. Each profile includes the plants particular characteristics and needs so you can start with the plant that is right for you.

D o you have limited space but want to grow your own food Are you a novice - photo 3

D o you have limited space but want to grow your own food? Are you a novice gardener with little experience but lots of questions? In either case, container gardening is perfect for you. You can start as small as one container and grow your way into a more diverse garden. You can grow anything from basil and strawberries to potatoes and carrotseven edible flowers!
