The Edible Balcony: Growing Fresh Produce in Small Spaces Paperback – February 14, 2012 by Alex Mitchell (Author) You don't need a sprawling backyard or spacious raised beds to grow delicious fruits, vegetables, and herbs of your own. In The Edible Balcony, longtime urban gardener Alex Mitchell shows how to transform whatever space you have, from a balcony or rooftop to a fire escape or window box, into a profusion of fresh, seasonal produce. While raising your own produce is eco-friendly in itself, you'll learn how to plant, grow, and water as sustainably as possible to ensure your edible Eden remains green and productive all year long. Plus, with a collection of innovative, step-by-step projects for designing colorful pots and plant supports with recycled containers and other household paraphernalia, you'll double your eco-friendliness, avoid hours of shopping, and be able to infuse your space with your own personal flair and style. Who knew saving time, money, and the environment could be so much fun? A collection of practical advice, fabulous container projects, and stunning examples of how gardeners around the world are successfully transforming urban spaces into abundant fruit and vegetable plots, The Edible Balcony is your guide to creating attractive, responsible, and thoroughly rewarding small space gardens--and perhaps never having to settle for grocery store produce again. Judi Singleton's Review of The Edible Balcony: Growing Fresh Produce in Small Spaces Paperback – by Alex Mitchell This book is chocked full of creative ideas of how to plan a elible garden in a small space. I don't know how he got so much information in this small book actually one of the best gardening books I have ever read. It has so many beautiful colored photos you just can't image. Everyone wants to be healthy and be able to grow and eat organic foods. This is one way to do that. You may not be able to grow your entire food supply in this way but it sure will make for a better diet. This book is for us who live in small apartments. It is not a book about organic raised beds. It is one of the best and I have been reading gardening books for many years. Judi Singleton is the owner operator of Bejewelu.com where you can dress the whole family for less
