Fix Your Garden: How to Make Small Spaces into Green Oases

Small in size but mighty in use, this little green book guides gardeners, especially new gardeners, to fulfillment. Fully illustrated with elementary drawings, the three chapters cover basics with bits of humor and loads of good sense. “Green oases can be found in very small spaces, and indeed, you don’t even have to have a garden to garden,” write Moseley and Strachan in the introduction to their second DIY-themed book (after Fix Your Bike). Chapter 1 schools readers on using on the variety of plans and purposes for gardening in small, often urban, spaces and provides a primer on tools needed. Chapter 2 covers digging and weeding, starting or revamping, and flowering v. wilting. The final chapter focuses on gardening unconventional in spaces including roofs, green screens, pouches, and pots. Short sections, blurbs, additional resources, and cross-references allow the authors to squeeze in lots of information into such little space. Color illus. [em](Aug.) [/em]
