| I have really enjoyed reading and dipping into this thoughtful book. It's an inspiring variety of beautiful container projects that instantly make you want to start grubbing about and planting great things to eat. Plus, did I mention? They look FABulous....
The instructions are clear, succinct and helpful. You don't have to have the exact container that the author uses - you could pick something out of a skip and have the project work just as well. A section at the back has really useful details such as which vegetables need which type of soil, what their peculiarities are, what shade or sun they like and how much moisture they prefer. A section at the front has no-nonsense information on compost, containers and what-you'll ... Read More |

| Well, this is a good book. Really good pictures, advices, design and plenty of inspiration and ideas for balconies, roofs, raised beds, window boxes ans such.
I would certainly buy it. However, I did not give it five stars, since it lacks some chapter in following species-to-species treatment in containers. But do not get wrong with it, this book has a last appendix with tables and tables refering to conditions for growing all vegetables in containers, size of container, treatments, etc, but not the fully detailed history an details which I think the author could write. I would give it 4 to 4.5 stars. Buy it in combination with the "Bountiful container" And also to the five-stars "21st century homesteading" |

| What an amazing and inspirational book. I could not put it down and I devoured it cover to cover in a day. I keep going back to it now for ideas. It is a must have for all gardeners. The style is witty and informative, written in monthly sections so it is easy to know what to do when. For beginners it provides step-by-step, simple instructions for getting started and for well seasoned pro's it's a reminder of the marvel of growing our own. A brilliant read. |

| Very much written for the "gullible American" market.
Don't believe all you read, but the main points are very strong and it does encourage one to think differently about gardening. Recommended. |

| I am a big advocate on using plants to create green walls and roofs. They can reduce the urban "heat island" effect and create usable green open spaces. I found this book's discussions on Intensive Green Roof, Extensive Green Roof, , Ecoroof, Brown Roof, etc interesting. This book is a serious attempt on a difficult subject. The color photos inside the book are helpful also.
There are still technical difficulties in using green walls and roofs: water proofing, how to handle the structural weight of large trees, how to integrate large plants with building structure, etc. All these technical discussions are needed, and they could be the subject of another book.

| Fantastic book. Great colour photos, yes some of the gardens you may have seen before but a really diverse mixture of containers to inspire you which come with 'recipes' and cross referenced to the plant info at the back of the book. Also details of how to propagate, winter protection, pests and diseases and just about all you need to know. Easy to follow format, highly recomended. |

| THis is really good book.
I must say it. I gave it five stars but there is only a low point. I am an organic book and the book is not very concerned with environment or things like companion planting or permacultures which other books possess. Still it is far better, no-nonsense, very partical and colorful, technical and personal at the same time, lenghty book, on every vegetable and while describing several varities for each, its secrets, container requirements, soil depth, watering and light, pests, time of growing, tips, etc... Heavilly recommended. I buy it along with edible container gardening, but this one is more pratical and with much more tips and useful advices. The former is more inspiring but lacks a bit this ...
