Book Description

March 1998
The instructions in this book show how anyone can produce tremendous amounts of vegetables in a small space (using containers as well as ground gardens) by following intensive, organic techniques that require much less weeding, watering, and overall effort.

There is detailed information for planning a postage stamp garden based on your typical menus, the size of your family, space available, the time and money you want to spend and planting cycles. Then you can consider the appearance and fragrance, and you can attract birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects. There are also thematic groupings of herbs and vegetables for every personal taste.

The Postage Stamp Kitchen Garden Book highlights Italian, French, Asian, Vegetarian, and Mexican food gardens, as well as the all-inclusive salad garden, and a garden for people who enjoy cooking light. It also covers techniques for cooking vegetables when they're fresh, minutes off the vine!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Postage Stamp Kitchen Garden Book, June 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Postage Stamp Kitchen Garden Book (Paperback)
Good information for my small vegetable gardening purposes. Informative charts covering seed germination, soil nutrient deficiency, spacing suggestions, heat content of various chiles and more. Especially liked the many layout suggestions for an intensive garden. Many sources for specific vegetables in six different kitchen gardens including vegetarian, French and Mexican. Clever ideas for container gardening. My only negative comment: I found the small size of the book to be awkward.

Small, yes. That's the idea of the garden and implied by the title, right? Yet it also contains everything most of us want and need to know to create our first kitchen gardens. Glad I bought it.
