Fresh Food From Small Spaces(Publication date November, 2009), was a wonderful surprise. The book covered not only growing foods in any space available, it encompassed the entire mentality of sustainable food production for anyone.
This book is set apart from others under the same topic, because of the author's vast knowledge of alternative food production and an uncanny ability to describe exactly what the reader needs to know, in order to recreate the growing systems.
Although herbs are not specifically mentioned, it is worthy to note that the same techniques used to grow vegetables inside are used to grow herbs. Some main topics of interest are:
- Deciding what to grow
- How to build containers
- Starting transplants and rotating crops
- Compost
- Vermiculture
These topics are just a sample of what you will find. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a successful herbal garden, no matter how large.
