Get the best out of any type of garden without spending a fortune, whether it's a small window box or a hard patio, with Deborah Schneebeli-Morrell's brilliant guide to growing crops in pots.

This book is packed with tips and techniques, from companion planting to deter pests to choosing the right container for the right crop, along with a wealth of other gardening advice. Grow Your Own Vegetables in Pots tempts the novice gardener to get growing and the more experienced gardener to grow organically, producing crops that are a pleasure to grow, harvest and eat.Deborah Schneebeli-Morrell grows crops on her city roof terrace and has created an eclectic allotment on a spectacular site in London.
