Description

Practical projects for small-space edible gardening and backyard fun from the much-loved Little Veggie Patch co. The book has 6 chapters Kids, Recycled/Upcyled, X-Factor, Vertical Gardening, Gardening basics and Kitchen. There are 38 projects, and each chapter includes a break-out patch favourite feature project. Projects range from the incredibly quick and simple, such as a self-watering milk-carton planter, how to grow micro-herbs and milk-crate planter boxes to large-scale building projects such as making vertical gardens from pallets, creating your own hops tower for home beer brewing and how to build an ultimate cubby house from recycled apple crates.

The book is written in the funny and approachable style associated with the Little Veggie Patch Co, with clear step-by-step instructions with fun, colourful photographs illustrating each step. This is the first Veggie Patch Co. book to be so specifically focussed on DIY projects.
