This review is from: Growing Herbs in Containers: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-179 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin, a-179) (Paperback)
At 32 pages you really do get what you pay for. Minimal info on only common herbs, precious little indoor growing information, and certainly nothing that you can't find easily on the web.

This review is from: Growing Herbs in Containers: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-179 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin, a-179) (Paperback)
This was an inexpensive booklet. It was good for basic information, but the information was basic enough that it could be found in any other type of Herb Gardening book. It's not something I will reference very often.

This review is from: Growing Herbs in Containers: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-179 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin, a-179) (Paperback)
Is a balcony all you have for your garden? Want to grow tasty herbs anyway? This is an inexpensive way to get the basics on starting your herb garden in containers. It is a Storey guide, which are almost always guaranteed to give you good info. Definitely worth the few bucks it costs.
