Fabian Capomolla and Mat Pember install edible gardens: in boxes on
balconies, in crates you can put anywhere in your backyard, or by creating
no-dig garden beds. After years of helping clients grow fruit and vegetables
they believe anyone can create their own little edible garden, in most any area
in Australia. And in this easy-to-use guide they show you how simple it is!
Fundamentals such as Soil, Climate, Watering, Composting, Worm Farms,
Saving and Sowing Seeds, and Raised Garden Beds and Crates are all covered
comprehensively – each with fully illustrated step-by-step plans that show how to
create your own little veggie patch in any space.
A complete A–Z of Edible Plants gives you vital information on more than
40 vegetables (and fruit trees), including detailed planting information, ongoing
maintenance advice, tips on best companions and when to harvest. And the
Weekend Activities scattered throughout the book will get the kids involved too,
whether they’re Making a Scarecrow, Building a Spud Tower or Growing Beans
in a Bean Can.
Lots of fun, and packed full of all the knowledge you’ll need – plus recipes and
some hilarious stories from Fabian and Mat’s own veggie-growing experience –
this colourful guide is for anyone interested in growing
their own food.
