Introduction
I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading, "Companion Container Gardening: Using Easy Companion Planting Techniques to Get More from Your Small Space."
Not everyone with a green thumb has the luxury of a plot of land or even a big backyard to grow the garden of their dreams. Container gardening makes it possible for anyone, anywhere to grow their own vegetables, herbs, and even fruit. This style of gardening allows you to grow plants in places that would be impossible otherwise. If you have a green thumb and are itching to get your hands in the dirt, there is no excuse not to give yourself the pleasure of planting things and watching them grow.
One of the challenges of living in a small space is that you have to learn to maximize every inch that you have available. Inside a small apartment this may mean building bookshelves that reach to the ceiling or investing in furniture that has more than one use. For those whose gardening space suffers from the same problem, companion planting is the answer. Rather than limit the number of different things you can grow to the number of containers you can fit in the space you have, you can grow multiple plants in the same container and increase the variety and often the yield of your gardening endeavor. The key is to pick the right pairings and combinations of plants.
This guide will give you all the information you need to build out the perfect container garden for your needs. It will give you an overview of organic gardening as well as how to garden with containers and then provide a detailed view of which plants work well when planted together.
By the end of the book, you will know what kind of containers to use, how to select the right soil, how to pick the best location for your containers, which plants to pick, and how to take care of your container garden. There is also information at the end of the book to help you troubleshoot common container garden problems.
With the information in this guide you will be able to plan and create a container garden that is perfectly suited to your specific needs. You will have the basic foundation you need to create and maintain fruitful containers; even if you are a
