5.0 out of 5 stars More Food From Your Garden Does The Job, March 19, 2001

This review is from: Mittleider Grow-Box Gardens (aka More Food From Your Garden) (Paperback)

This book uses very interesting graphic illustrations to show how to build containers and grow an excellent garden in virtually any space you might have available.

Everything is simple, logical, well illustrated, and explained, from choosing the location (sunny) to filling your grow-boxes with a clean, light mixture of sawdust and sand, or other ingredients that are inexpensive and readily available, and includes accurate feeding and watering instructions.

My garden is the envy of everyone who sees it, and draws raves almost every day. Thanks Dr. Mittleider!
