Earth gardens are a lot of work. They require a plot of land and a significant time commitment to sowing, watering, weeding, and tending each plant. Self-watering containers allow vegetable gardeners--from the casual weekender with a tomato plant or two to the very dedicated gardener with limited space--to grow plants in a controlled, low-maintenance environment. Lifelong gardener Ed Smith tested dozens of vegetables in various containers, experimenting with nutrients, soil mixtures, plant varieties, and container positioning. Now Smith is here to tell gardeners how anyone can grow and enjoy wonderful organic vegetables, using pots with continuous-flow watering systems. Smith advises on choosing appropriate containers, balanced, and additional tools. 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.--From publisher description.
