    This book is short, but it packs quite a punch. It contains many photos which are useful in diagnosing diseases, etc. This is a great starting point for the beginning urban gardener (like me) who is attempting to make the most of limited space. The authors keep keep things short, sweet, and to the point. If you're wondering what sorts of containers to use, how deep you should plant various seeds, what varieties thrive best in containers, etc., this is a great place to start. At the very least, it's a nice reference book to have on hand for for the urban gardener.

    This book will get you in the right direction of container plants of all kinds it has a lot of information and pointers from bugs to dirt. You might be able to find the same information only newer by searching other sites or even looking up videos that people have posted so no guess work needed and you can see a finished product after its grown and save the about $5.00 unless you like the smell of old books lol. The seller sent me a library copy so it was really bad shape and he failed to say it was a rental book but it was cheap. Recommend maybe if its cheap enough....

    This is book is an easy read and if filled with useful information. I live in an apartment and thought there was no way I could grow a garden. Because of this book, I am looking forward to growing a container garden on my deck. I can't wait to taste fresh picked vegetables.

    This is the only book I have found that covers growing vegetables in containers. It is a good start. It provides just enough information about the all important-soil recipes, companion plants, container sizes & types, watering, pests, fertilizers and suitable crops. It's not a big book, which is why I can't give it my highest rating. I am still looking for something more in depth and with more personal experiences, ergo the reason for my web site LinLu's Container Gardening -
