Grow food anywhere : how to plant the right crops in the right place and help your garden thrive / Lucy Chamberlain.
"Follow the concept of "right crop, right place" to grow delicious fruits and vegetables that will thrive in your outdoor space" -- Back cover.
"In this book, expert gardener and vegetable grower Lucy Chamberlain breaks down the environments you may find in your garden into seven zones, from sunny and sheltered to shady and dry--as well as using indoor space. Following the principle of "right crop, right place," everyone can grow fruits and vegetables that will thrive in their space, large or small. Including varieties of vegetables, fruits, herbs, edible flowers, and container crops, there is something here for everyone--from favorites like chilis and figs to honeyberry, wasabi, agretti, and amaranth. Learn how to identify and map the zones of your space, make the most of the natural conditions, collect water, use a greenhouse effectively, and understand the basics of what's happening in the soil. With photographs of crops, diagrams of each zone, and a troubleshooting guide to managing plant problems, this book will truly enable gardeners to grow food anywhere"-- Provided by publisher.
