Anyone, anywhere can grow fresh, healthy produce in containers, free of chemical fertilizers or insecticides-using the permaculture approach
Permaculture-rooted in centuries-old techniques for growing food with care for the Earth-is the key to raising a bigger harvest than you ever thought possible: on your balcony, patio, driveway, deck, and anywhere in between! In Container Gardening-The Permaculture Way, author Valéry Tsimba writes from her own experience growing a lush permaculture garden on her forty-three-square-foot balcony. Her guiding principle is sustainability: to create biodiversity and share abundance.
Tsimba enthusiastically instructs home gardeners of all skill levels in her proven methods, from start to finish:
Selecting and preparing planters and tools
Sowing and transplanting seeds
Limiting waste and avoiding insecticides
Watering and increasing fertility
And increasing your harvest-naturally
With over 120 photos and tables, Container Gardening-The Permaculture Way is an accessible, irresistible guide for everyone-whether a beginning gardener, or an expert who's new to the practice of permaculture. Readers will enjoy fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables-even strawberries and melons!-plus herbs and helpful companion flowers.
