MY THOUGHTS:
Since I was pregnant with my daughter I have thought about gardening to provide fresh vegetables for our family. We have used some barrels for tomatoes but I wanted to be able to grow more and diverse veggies but unfortunately our yard and dogs do not allow for this! However this book is great for learning how to create your own urban garden, what soils to use, and different tips and tricks to make it successful! I am looking forward to putting the things I have learned into action!! I definitely recommend this guide for “dummies” to others!!
MY RATING:
KUWTR-Book-Rating-5
Disclosure: I received one copy of the book for review purposes only. I was not compensated to write a positive or favorable review. This is Keeping Up With The Rheinlander’s personal opinion.
