Book Reviews of The Postage Stamp Kitchen Garden Book
Book Review: All you need: concise yet comprehensive
Summary: 5 Stars
Small, yes. That's the idea of the garden and implied by the title, right? Yet it also contains everything most of us want and need to know to create our first kitchen gardens. Glad I bought it.
Summary of The Postage Stamp Kitchen Garden Book
The instructions in this book show how anyone can produce tremendous amounts of vegetables in a small space (using containers as well as ground gardens) by following intensive, organic techniques that require much less weeding, watering, and overall effort.There is detailed information for planning a postage stamp garden based on your typical menus, the size of your family, space available, the time and money you want to spend and planting cycles. Then you can consider the appearance and fragrance, and you can attract birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects. There are also thematic groupings of herbs and vegetables for every personal taste.
The Postage Stamp Kitchen Garden Book highlights Italian, French, Asian, Vegetarian, and Mexican food gardens, as well as the all-inclusive salad garden, and a garden for people who enjoy cooking light. It also covers techniques for cooking vegetables when they're fresh, minutes off the vine!
