This fun, lighthearted little book is chock full of the author's enthusiasm and a myriad of creative ideas and container gardening practical advice from choosing your containers, getting the biggest bang for your buck at yard sales, end of season sales, to recruiting your child's old wagon. He is quick to add that there must be drainage and proceeds to tell you what and how. He tells you how to arrange your plants within the containers, height and width of plant to container for the best designs right down to the financial practicality of planting from seeds and how to make home-made, non-toxic bug killers, how and when to water, where to place your plants, and growing and pruning suggestions for your container herb garden... And that's just for starters. Well worth the investment, a handy little book to sharpen your artistic eye and gardening acumen.
