Any Size, Anywhere Edible Gardening The No Yard, No Time, No Problem Way To Grow Your Own Food

About the Book

Any Size, Anywhere Edible Gardening: The No Yard, No Time, No Problem Way to Grow Your Own Food by William Moss is a practical guide to growing vegetables and other edible plants when space, time, or gardening experience is limited. Published by Cool Springs Press in 2012, the book focuses on making productive gardening possible in spaces ranging from balconies and containers to small backyards and community garden plots.

William Moss takes beginning gardeners through the fundamentals of planning and maintaining a small edible garden. Instead of assuming that a gardener has a large yard, the book explains ways to adapt gardening techniques to the space available and choose plants that can thrive in compact settings.

Small-Space Gardening

The book covers several approaches to growing food, including container gardening, vertical gardening, raised-bed gardening, and traditional in-ground methods. It also includes guidance on saving time, selecting vegetables suited to smaller gardens, and managing edible plants throughout the growing process.

A substantial section focuses on individual vegetables, including tomatoes, with information designed to help readers select suitable varieties and grow productive plants. The book also includes advice for vegetables grown in special or challenging sites, along with best management practices, a hardiness zone map, glossary, and index.

Who Is It For?

This book is particularly useful for beginner gardeners, apartment and balcony gardeners, urban gardeners, and anyone who wants to grow vegetables and food-producing plants without a large garden. Its emphasis on practical methods and different types of small gardens makes it useful for readers working with limited outdoor space or limited time.
