Do you live in an apartment with a balcony, fire escape or
rooftop terrace? Most city dwellers neglect these spaces or use
them for nothing more than hanging laundry and storing bicycles.
And for a long time, so did I.
Several years ago I decided to transform my under-used balcony
from a lifeless concrete pad into a little garden in the sky. Every
year I grow a small harvest of vegetables such as tomatoes,
peppers, beans and peas, and more than enough herbs to satisfy our
culinary needs. Sometimes I even grow watermelons. You don't need
to live in the country or have a big yard to own a productive
garden.
This book will guide you through the challenges of container
gardening in one of the most sterile of urban environments: a
high-rise balcony. With topics including: Container gardening
basics Small space composting and vermicomposting Starting plants
indoors from seed Self-watering containers Hand-pollination
Diagnosing common plant problems
And detailed growing instructions for all of my favorite garden
herbs and vegetables
