Container Gardening-The Permaculture Way: Sustainably Grow Vegetables and More in Your Small Space (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781891011382)

Permaculture--rooted in centuries-old techniques for growing food with care for the Earth--is the key to raising a bigger harvest than you ever thought possible: on your balcony, patio, driveway, deck, and anywhere in between! In Container Gardening--The Permaculture Way, author Valéry Tsimba writes from her own experience growing a lush permaculture garden on her forty-three-square-foot balcony. Her guiding principle is sustainability: to create biodiversity and share abundance.

Tsimba enthusiastically instructs home gardeners of all skill levels and backgrounds in her proven methods, from start to finish:

• Selecting and preparing planters and tools
• Sowing and transplanting seeds
• Limiting waste and avoiding insecticides
• Watering and increasing fertility
• And increasing your harvest--naturally

With over 120 photos and tables, Container Gardening--The Permaculture Way is an accessible, irresistible guide for everyone--whether a beginning gardener; someone living with disability, chronic illness, or housing insecurity; or an expert who's new to the practice of permaculture. Readers will enjoy fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables--even strawberries and melons!--plus herbs and helpful companion flowers.
