Growing Up the Wall

No matter how small the outdoor space you have, this book will get you started on a new way of growing.

Grow up! If you have limited outdoor space and would like to grow your food, this practical illustrated guide will help you transform previously plant-free zones into thriving, beneficial and utterly beautiful food-growing areas.

Using special containers, either bought or homemade, as well as conventional methods such as growing frames, wall boxes, hanging baskets and ladder allotments, you can grow a wide range of edible crops. This book also includes guidance on creating edible roof gardens and how to plan and grow crops on green roofs, including on sheds. There is also a directory of plants suitable for vertical growing fruit, flowers and herbs as well as vegetables with advice on how to cultivate them.

Whether you have an apartment with just a wall, windowsill, balcony or small flat roof; a school with nothing but a tarmac playground; or just a paved courtyard in your community centre, this book will get you started on a new way of growing.
