This book is essentially a plant-by-plant guide, and it's pretty good at describing how to plant, harvest, and sustain a garden with the plants it covers.I still think this is a good starting point though, so maybe this spring I’ll actually attempt a few small containers? Learn about the space you need and how to prepare it, how to make your own compost, how to get hold of your first set of seeds, and then strategies to multiply the seeds you have.

This book was worth reading simply for the fact that I now understand how important compost is if you want to grow your own food cheaply.
