Description
A postage stamp kitchen garden is a small area -- whether a back yard plot or a set of containers -- that produces fresh herbs and vegetables. While many cooks complain that they are short on both time and garden space, this book solves both of these problems. The carefully laid out instructions, complemented with over 100 illustrations, demonstrate how to produce tremendous amounts of vegetables in a small space. By following intensive, ecologically friendly techniques that require much less weeding, watering, and overall effort, anyone can have the garden of their dreams. Includes dozens of lists of every conceivable variety of herbs and vegetables.
