Successful Container Gardening

I was very honoured to be included in the Early Reader Team for Sophie McKay’s latest book Beginner's Guide to Successful Container Gardening. Sophie is an emerging author in the field of gardening, permaculture and sustainability.

Her work explores self-sufficiency, foraging, food forestry, and food preservation, with a view to helping readers gain independence and help repair the planet little by little. This latest offering from her is ideal if you are interested in growing your own organic vegetables and fruits but don't have much space?

This book provides an easy-to-follow comprehensive guide with techniques and smart tips to help you overcome the limitations of your space enabling you to use your available areas efficiently.

The book is divided into 10 chapters based on various important aspects of container gardening, as shown below.

If you have trouble reading the contents on your device in this post, you can always use the Amazon Look inside feature. Computer users click on the image and it will display full screen.

Small Space, Big Harvest - 25+ Proven tricks & DIY Methods, indexed and explained by Beautiful, Hand Drawn Illustrations + lots of additional resources!

As Sophie says in her book “The tips and tricks will help you turn your home into a plant lover’s paradise. It’s time to do away with your doubts and stretch those green fingers!”

Beginner's Guide to Successful Container Gardening also contains details of additional Free Resources that can be downloaded by the reader.

I have to say I have really enjoyed reading this book to review. The four pages of the contents in 10 Chapters shows you from the start of the read exactly what the book is going to cover in scope and in detail.

The Beginner's Guide to Successful Container Gardening is a really enjoyable read and in fact I have suggested to my daughter that they buy me a paperback copy of this book and Sophie's Practical Permaculture Project for my birthday in March.

I give the Beginner's Guide to Successful Container Gardening a 5 star rating, and highly recommend it to experienced and new gardeners.

At a time when decisions are being made about heat or eat and supermarket shelves in the UK are currently looking like this.....

There is no better time to start thinking about Successful Container Gardening and growing your own vegetables in your back garden no matter what the size of it.
