Review :
For those who find themselves in the "no yard" zone, but with a deep desire to garden and grow your own food...this book is a "must have!- Tina Wilson, Small Town Living This book is designed for those residing in urban areas who wish to reap the benefits of organic, home gardening -- without the convenience of a personal yard for cultivation. - ForeWord Reviews D.J. Herda's inspiring book From Container to Kitchen will not only have you rethinking lettuce over petunias for your containers this year, but also looking at just about anything as a possible container. Herda's light-hearted writing punctuated with self-deprecating humor and step-by-step instructions on everything from lighting to watering to bugs could imbue even the rankest beginner with confidence. - Bridget Otto, The Oregonian
