Review: Great advice and nicely designed book - I follow the authors YouTube channel, so figured the book would be full of great info too. I was right. The book strikes a perfect balance between being scientific and detailed, whilst also being fun and creative. It’s a great book for a quick ten minute read on a specific subject or for a quick fix of inspiration. But equally great to read in depth for more detailed information. Finally, the book is very well put together - great photography and nicely payed out design. Highly recommend. Review: Great complete book that will show you many different approaches to gardening - This book will appeal to many people, no matter if you have a large garden, balcony or just your window still to put your plants up. It will make you think about all the possibilities, some that you might have thought of before, and some new ones too. Well written and nice full colour pictures made it so that I read it almost in one go. If you're (just like me) looking for the metric conversions, there is a handy note in the back of the book. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 305,517 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 12 in Hydroponics (Books) 171 in Indoor Gardening 186 in House Plant Gardening | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,792 Reviews | ## Images ![Field Guide to Urban Gardening: How to Grow Plants, No Matter Where You Live: Raised Beds • Vertical Gardening • Indoor Edibles • Balconies and Rooftops • Hydroponics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91736ec8PNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great advice and nicely designed book *by A***N on 19 April 2020* I follow the authors YouTube channel, so figured the book would be full of great info too.

It will make you think about all the possibilities, some that you might have thought of before, and some new ones too. Well written and nice full colour pictures made it so that I read it almost in one go.

Love his videos, but as a book tutorial junkie couldn't resist finding out about the book after seeing how many people bought it after watching. Delivery was 1 to 2 months so chose this seller. It's easy to understand, he's very relatable sharing his gardening journey, and big on low budget materials and recycling, which is a refreshing change. There is a slight distancing with the translation from US to UK, but there are lots of conversion charts, and if you aren't old like me and work in inches and cm, easily converted on Google. Wonderful book! Seller was quick and would definitely use them again. Delighted all round. ## Frequently Bought Together - Field Guide to Urban Gardening: How to Grow Plants, No Matter Where You Live: Raised Beds • Vertical Gardening • Indoor Edibles • Balconies and Rooftops • Hydroponics - Epic Homesteading: Your Guide to Self-Sufficiency on a Modern, High-Tech, Backyard Homestead - Grow Bag Gardening: The Revolutionary Way to Grow Bountiful Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits, and Flowers in Lightweight, Eco-friendly Fabric Pots - Perfect ...
