Permaculture In Pots: How To Grow Food In Small Urban Spaces

Permaculture in Pots by Juliet Kemp. A month by month guide to what to sow and grow on a balcony or in a container garden with recipes for the kitchen too, using low impact permaculture principles.In these times of soaring food prices, growing food in cities is becoming the big urban trend. As demand far outstrips supply for allotments, Permaculture in Pots shows you how to get started with whatever space you have available – appealing to those who feel powerless to meet their own subsistence needs through lack of growing space.Month by month we learn what to grow on a balcony or in a container garden, using low impact permaculture principles. It doesn’t matter when you pick up the book and start your journey of container gardening – wherever you are in the year, open the book to that chapter, and it’ll tell you what you should be doing. Each month’s section details jobs to be done; how to plan ahead for the next season; and which fruit and veg to sow, grow and eat.There are recipes, photos and anecdotes from Kemp’s experience growing food on her small balcony in Southwark; Kemp is warm and self-effacing, and makes an excellent guide. Each month has its own herb, with growing tips and culinary and medicinal uses for each.As uncertainty rises about whether those outside the property ladder will ever get to own their own home, Permaculture in Pots gives power and opportunity back to generations who are becoming more aware of the need of self-sufficiency, and yet find themselves in rented homes with concrete where gardens once were. There’s no excuse not to get started!

I didn't realize this was written with UK people in mind. So if you're outside of the UK you'll have a little homework and possibly some guesswork to do depending upon where you are.That said, I really do like this book. I like the way she's really clear about what you should be doing each month. Great for beginners like me who need a lot of hand-holding.She goes into a lot of detail about upcycling/recycling materials, which is great, but she doesn't say much at all for what one can do when one is in need of LARGE pots. So I do wish there was more info on that. I also wish there was more info on the US as well.Overall, this is a great book, and I definitely recommend the purchase if you're sort of new to this whole urban gardening thing or if you're just not happy with your production. I'm 2 years in and not thrilled with the output of my 70 (supposed to be food-bearing) plants.

Very informative. This book has helped me grow better herbs and I am working on vegetable now. I would highly recommend this book for it's in depth instruction. It gives month by month information for all zones. Great little book!

Good information though the writer is not gardening in the USA.

great ideas for permaculture enthusiasts.

Very good starting point for beginners.
