Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Most vegetable-gardening books assume you have a yard. This one starts with a balcony.If you've got a six-by-ten balcony, a patio with room for a few pots, or a single 4×4 raised bed by the fence, you have enough space to grow real food - tomatoes, beans, lettuce, herbs, the things you'll actually eat. Not a token pot of mint. A genuine, season-long harvest from the space you already have.Clara Bennett grows hers on a small balcony in the Pacific Northwest. She started on a city fire escape, killed more basil than she'd like to admit, and worked out - over six seasons of trial, error, and a lot of university extension reading - what actually produces in a tight space. This is the beginner's book she wishes she'd had: honest about what fails, specific about pot sizes and sun hours, and written for renters and first-timers who are tired of garden books that assume an acre and a tractor.Inside you'll find: - How to read your space before you buy a thing - sun, the weight a balcony can safely hold, wind, and water.- The right-sized pot for every crop - plus the compact 'patio' and 'bush' varieties bred to thrive in containers.- Square-foot spacing that quietly out-produces a traditional backyard row.- A whole chapter on watering - overwatering is the single biggest beginner mistake, and it gets the space it deserves.- A full season's rhythm, food-safe pest control, and a troubleshooting chapter for the problems beginners actually hit.- A quick-reference layout for every crop - pot size, sun, spacing, at a glance.This book is for you if: - You rent, and your 'garden' is a balcony, a fire escape, or a patio.- You've kept a few herbs alive and you're ready to grow something you can make a meal from.- You've never grown anything and you'd like the first thing you grow to be food.- You're tired of vegetable-gardening books that assume a tiller and four beds on a rotation.This book is not: a homesteading manual, a permaculture manifesto, or a market-garden business plan. It's a calm, practical guide to growing a real harvest in a small space - exactly that, and done well.Grab a pot. There's a tomato that wants to grow on your balcony this summer. …
