The easy way to succeed at urban gardening
 
 
 
A townhouse yard, a balcony, a fire escape, a south-facing window--even a basement apartment can all be suitable locations to grow enough food to save a considerable amount of money and enjoy the freshest, healthiest produce possible.
 
 
 
Urban Gardening For Dummies helps you make the most of limited space through the use of proven small-space gardening techniques that allow gardeners to maximize yield while minimizing space.
* Covers square-foot gardening and vertical and layered gardening
* Includes guidance on working with container gardening, succession gardening, and companion gardening
* Offers guidance on pest management, irrigation and rain barrels, and small-space composting
 
 
 
If you're interested in starting an urban garden that makes maximum use of minimal space, Urban Gardening For Dummies has you covered.
 
 
 
Paul Simon is a nationally recognized landscape architect, public artist, horticulturist, master gardener, and urban designer. Charlie Nardozzi is a nationally recognized garden writer, speaker, and radio and television personality.
