If You Want To Enjoy Home-Grown Food Without Being A Full-Time Farmer... Read On!
Do you find it hard to afford the recommended 5 portions of veggies and fruit per day?
Do you have suspicions about the quality of supermarket groceries?
Do you want to provide your family with fun and educational activities in the fresh air?
Why not try urban gardening?
Your backyard doesn't have to be just a lawn. Growing your own fruits, herbs, and veggies takes up less space than you might think and allows you to enjoy affordable organic food that you can trust completely. Taking care of a garden may sound like a chore, but once you get your entire family involved, it becomes a fun way to strengthen your bonds and teach your kids about nature.
This book will teach you everything you need to know about urban gardening to get started.
- Why every homeowner should consider having an urban garden
- How to design the urban garden of your dreams
- How to buy the best equipment and choose the best plants for your unique urban gardening goals
- Proven maintenance routines to keep your plants pest-free and healthy
- Typical beginner pitfalls that can hurt your plants
- And much more!
With the right planning and maintenance strategies, urban gardening can be easy and satisfying. Even if you have zero gardening experience, this beginner-friendly book will help you set up a garden you'll be proud of!
Even the tiniest urban garden can make a positive change in your community. During World War II, millions of Americans planted so-called "victory gardens" in their yards and actually supplied 40% of the country's homegrown fruits and vegetables!
If your grandparents could do it, so can you!
