Are you a gardener (or aspiring gardener) who is short on space? Vertical methods and structures for growing plants are an ideal way to maximize your real estate, and they're eye-catching, too.
Vertical solutions deliver more yield in fewer square feet, especially perfect for the urban gardener. They're less work, too, so you can forget all-day weeding and watering. Some vegetables, such as tomatoes and pole beans, have been grown vertically for a very long time, but those who need to maximize space can grow almost any type of plant vertically—from melons and squash to carrots, peppers, and pears.
Vertical growing isn't just practical, it's beautiful, too! Trellises, terra cotta towers, and hanging planters (to name a few!) transform an outdoor space into a magical garden.
Vertical Vegetable Gardening is your thorough guide for growing all types of leafy, root, and other vegetables vertically. Included in the book are:
• Creative ideas for structures and containers that will save you space, including DIY projects and repurposing suggestions
• Profiles on dozens of plant varieties, including planting, tending, and harvesting instructions
• How to make your own garden bed
• Soil, seed, and gardening basics
• Pest control guidance
