Default The Bountiful Container

Hey Folks

I've been trying to source a good book to help me for a while (Hard i found, to find one specifically for veg container gardening) So wanted to share this, incase anyone else is gardening the same way as me & looking for a bible!

This has had really good reviews on the internet:

'The Bountiful Container' by Maggie Stuckey & Rose Marie Nichols McGee.

"Create container gardens of vegetables, herbs, fruits & edible flowers"

I bought mine from Amazon & got free postage, hope it comes today!!

Amazon.co.uk: the bountiful container: Books

How sad, i've only been gardening for 2 weeks & i can't wait to read this book so i can try to be sucessful with my little garden this year I think i've got the bug!

You're not sad : )

I too have completely embraced the whole veg growing hobby with gusto (much to my hubby's amusement) and am really proud of what I have achieved so far. Good luck with your growing!

Yep loads of handy hints

The link to Amazon lets you read a couple of pages to see if it's what your looking for
