This is a great book for any one who wants info for any type of container gardening. It has info for flowers, vegetables, and misc. I highly recommend this book.

Interesting and very useful information. A must have in any gardeners reference library.

I have been thinking about buyingThe Old Farmer’s Almanac Container Gardener’s Handbook and it's companions for awhile now and finally decided to buy one Since I do container gardens at the moment . This book has a plethora of useful information in it ! It has how to put your containers together/care fir them , what food you can grow in containers , what flowers do well In containers, how to take care of your plants , how to deal with pests /Diseases your plants might have , etc etc . All the photos in it are great and im very happy that the pest and Diseases have photos of what to look for ! this book is just perfect for my needs and I will be buying the other two companion books as soon as possible! These books woukd make good christmas or Birthday gifts to anyone who like Gardening so yes I definitely recommend!

This book covers a wealth of information regarding all types of plants, containers,soils , pests & various environments in clear language for the average gardener.

Great information for the container gardener in all of us. Besides our farm, I use container gardening on our patio close to the kitchen as my kitchen garden. It really helps you understand what does and does not do well in the small container. Almost everything can be grown this way, and that is super helpful. Would make a great gift for your favorite gardener, or a wedding present with some plants and soil for the newlyweds.

(that's me, I'm a novice gardener)There's a lot that goes into a successful container garden, so if you were like me and thought the equation was just pot + plant + dirt = produce, this will be very enlightening. I live in a tough climate and used several of the tips hear to keep my plants hydrated and happy. I'm still a bad gardener, but now it's not because of my choice of containers ;)

Gift. She likes them.

The gift-recipient was previously given a couple small potted blueberry plants by another gift-giver. With no experience in potted plants, they started searching the internet. So, I bought this book for them. Waving they're hands around they said, "I'm definitely learning a lot but it may be more than they can I can absorb. It is very comprehensive; it goes on and on about everything you can imagine: all different types of soils, pests, type of plants, nutrition, how to feed them, diseases, it goes on and on...."So I, the gift-giver, can say the gift-recipient needed something less exhaustive but it may be great for someone who really wants to dig down deep in potted plants.
