Summary:
"Due to the high cost of transporting food long distances, the heightened problem of diseased caused by commercially grown foods, and concerns of the overuse of chemicals in mass food production, there's never been a more urgent time to start growing your own food. Many people have already discovered the benefits of homegrown vegetables and fruits; community gardens, and even community canning centers, are increasingly popular, and rooftop gardening has become an accessible, healthy food source. Many plants can flourish in containers for even the smallest backyard or patio. The possibilities for growing your own food are endless."--Back cover.
