Shiny green cucumbers; firm, juicy tomatoes; baby lettuces
handpicked one salad at a time--these are the tasty benefits of the
backyard vegetable garden. But earth gardens are a lot of work.
They require a plot of plantable land and a significant time
commitment to sowing, watering, weeding, and tending each plant.
Is there a solution? Self-watering containers allow vegetable
gardeners--from the casual weekender interested in a tomato plant
or two to the very dedicated gardener with limited space--to grow
richly producing plants in a controlled, low-maintenance
environment.
Lifelong gardener Ed Smith became fascinated with the possibilities
of self-watering containers and began testing dozens of vegetables
in various containers, experimenting with nutrients, soil mixtures,
plant varieties, and container positioning. Now Smith is here to
tell gardeners that anyone can grow and enjoy wonderful organic
vegetables, using pots with continuous- flow watering systems.
Smith shares advice on choosing appropriate containers, how to
provide balanced nutrition using his secret soil formula, and what
additional tools benefit the container gardener. The reader will
also find advice on starting from seed versus buying plants, which
vegetables thrive in containers and which might be a bit more
challenging, along with space-saving tips on pairing plants in
single containers. After the last green tomato has been picked and
is ripening on the windowsill, Smith wraps everything up with a
chapter on fall clean-up and preparing for next spring. Now there's
really no excuse for store-bought tomatoes
