From back cover: You can now enjoy the pleasure of gardening and the incomparable quality of homegrown produce, even if you live in the city, in a condominium, apartment or mobile home--or you just don't have the time or energy for larger-scale gardening.

In "Successful Small Food Gardens, a newly revised and updated edition of her classic intensive-gardening book, popular garden writer Louise Riotte shares her proven methods for addressing the special needs of the small-space garden. You'll learn about simple landscaping methods, companion plants and hanging gardens, water and drainage techniques, ways to increase soil quality, dwarf fruit and vegetable varieties, and edible flower, herbs, and shrubs.
