"Growing vegetables in containers is the only option for many gardeners. For a more decorative look, think about using recycled objects for your potted kitchen garden such as old bath or laundry tubs. The book includes 30 fabulous projects for growing edible plants in different containers from galvanised buckets to a coconut sack." Your Home & Garden
"This is one of my favourite new books this year. It has good clear information, is well designed and the photographs are practical and attractive. For the uninitiated gardener, who would like to try a few edible plants in pots in the patio, each project is presented as a recipe or list of what you will need...some projects even include appropriate companion planting to keep the pests at bay. In all, a great book for beginner, but just as interesting and entertaining for a more seasoned gardener requiring a few fresh ideas." Country & Border Life
"This is just what the doctor ordered – a book to help both beginners and more experienced gardeners who are short on time and space to grow their own 'Organic Crops in Pots'.
The author also approaches organic gardening with a no-nonsense, easy-to-follow approach, covering everything from feeding the soil to deterring pests, feeding and watering, dealing with disease and the longed-for harvest." Kitchen Garden
"Organic Crops in Pots shows how you can get the best out of any garden without investing in too much space or money and offers some ingenious ways to grow nasturtiums in mop buckets or basil in a colander." Organic Garden & Home
"For 'pots', read 'containers' – anything that will hold compost is used, and although 'organic' comes into the title, it doesn't matter a hoot whether you are organic or not, it's the ideas that count. You will also be astonished at the range of fruit and veg that is possible in pint-sized surroundings; I was. An excellent book on what at first appeared to be a particularly esoteric subject." Garden Answers
"As we all strive to live the 'good life', more and more of us are looking to grow our own food when we can. Organic Crops in Pots is a book that offers advice on growing and maintaining crops in a variety of different containers." Ireland's Homes Interiors & Living
"Organic Crops in Pots by Deborah Schneebeli-Morrell is a beautifully illustrated good-ideas book for growing produce in a tiny space.
