And with only one exception - watering - container gardening is a whole lot easier. Beginning with the down-to-earth basics of soil, sun and water, fertilizer, seeds and propagation, THE BOUNTIFUL CONTAINER is an extradordinary complete, plant-by-plant guide.

"Excellent and informative book. This is marketed squarely to people like me who want to grow food and nothing else. Every plant in this book has at least one edible part. The only drawback is the lack of attention to regional growing areas outside the U.S.A. This drawback isn't important, really, since regional issues are easily researched on the internet. A humane and witty read, this book is a classic of home and limited-space gardening."
"During the growing season, this book is one of my bibles for taking care of my urban container garden. The authors give great tips on choosing plants, choosing containers and locations for them, and taking care of them. Especially fun are their container "gardens" where they put a bunch of plants together thematically. I've gotten some great ideas from this book."
"The way this book is organized makes it so, so easy to reference. You just find the plant you want to grow, and all the details are right there. Visually, a nice book too."
"This is an excellent gardening book if you have window boxes or a small space to work with outdoors. I have been gardening in window boxes and have constantly referred to this as a resource. Out of all the container gardening books I have looked through this has been the best one."
