(Disclosure: I received this book from Blogging for Books in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own)
My middle son loves to grow vegetables. We just finished tilling him a place in our backyard for him to make a full sized garden. We used to have to use a smaller space and had to get creative with what we used. I was running out of ideas on what to do.
When I got the opportunity to review The Postage Stamp Vegetable Garden, I was happy. So was my son. This book is full of great ideas to grow your own vegetables even using a small area and even containers. It is full of tips and useful knowledge. My son and I learned and applied quite a bit of what we learned to everything we have grown and we are looking forward to our full sized garden.
What is a postage stamp garden?
To accommodate today's lifestyles, a garden needs to fit easily into a very small plot, take as little time as possible to maintain, require a minimum amount of water, and still product prolifically. That's exactly what a postage stamp garden does. Postage stamp gardens are as little as 4x4 feet, and after the initial soil preparation, they require very little extra work to produce a tremendous amount of vegetables. For instance, a 5x5 foot bed will produce a minimum of 200 pounds of vegetables!
