Container Garden Guide

As a container gardening enthusiast, I found this eBook (eCourse is really a better description) to be very well written and to the point. It is written primarily for those would-be gardeners who are limited on space, but is also informative for those of us blessed with larger properties.

This book and audio interview is by a veteran gardener whose name is Lisa Rodgers (interviewed by Gwynne Curry). Her story starts with when she moved from the family farm to a more urban setting (”limestone city” she calls it), where she could get nothing to grow in the clay hardpan soil. After much frustration and experimentation she discovered the secrets of “growing up”.

Lisa is definitely an expert in this subject. I’ve been container gardening for a number of years now, and the interview gave me some ideas I’d never even considered. Because of these ladies, my container gardening efforts are going to improve dramatically. There’s some really cool stuff here.

The book and audio cover such diverse (and important) subjects as:

- Unusual supports that you may have in your own backyard (no expensive trellises)!
- The cheapest ways to garden up
- Which vegetables and flowers to grow up (and what not to plant in a vertical garden!)
- How a city balcony can produce a harvest into the winter
- Secrets to getting more than one harvest from the same square inch!
- Vertical gardening with containers – no digging, no weeding, no sweat!
- The best soils for different kinds of plants (mess up the mix and kiss your harvest goodbye!)
- How to plant potatoes in a bin (that shovel may not get used this season!)
- Secrets to growing fruits and berries in small spaces

These bonus eBooks are included in the package:

The Complete Mini-Guide to Patio Gardening ($9.95 value)
The Perfect Window Box Garden ($9.95 value)
Secrets to Stunning Hanging Baskets ($9.95 value)

I think that’s a pretty good collection of resource materials for $19.97 (soon to go back up to $29.97). Gwynne also offers a 56 day money-back guarantee.
