Summary

There has never been a more urgent time to start growing, harvesting, and eating our homegrown food—even if you have no idea how to plant a seed!

During the Second World War, thousands of families took to growing their own food because of shortages. Today, the food crisis is even greater.

The world is experiencing a number of challenges that are unique to these times. Climate change is destroying entire crops through wildfires, droughts, and floods. Crop shortage has led to a surge in prices that is hurting all of us, and it’s not going to get better anytime soon.

There is also the frightening rise in the use of chemicals to grow enough food to feed our ever-increasing population.

According to The Environmental Working Group in their Dirty Dozen report, non-organic kale, collards, and mustard greens have up to 21 different pesticides. These foods might be cheaper than their organic relatives but the cost to your health is detrimental.

If you’re looking for a solution to all your food supply problems—cost, accessibility, health, and safety—it’s time to do what struggling families did in World War II—grow your own food.

And you can do it in your very own organic garden.

Organic gardening is most commonly associated with large spaces in the beautiful countryside. But even if you live in a tiny space in the city with no backyard, you can still create a beautiful organic garden at home.

In this ultimate guide to urban gardening, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

  • How to choose the perfect location for your food garden that will allow you to grow organic crops regardless of your space
  • The fantastic use of balcony space for delicious, fresh vegetables
  • What you can grow in a small garden area and still save yourself a fortune
  • How your microgreens will fill your plate with minimal input
  • How to transform a wall or even a closet in your home so that you can grow things like cucumbers, peppers, and even fruit
  • Essential steps to turn that dull, useless rooftop into a regular source of food for you and your family
  • How to germinate fruit and vegetable seeds in any climate
  • The benefits of a no-dig garden to boost your harvest in small spaces
  • Why hydroponics is inspiring gardeners around the world and allowing a bigger harvest
  • What your plants need for healthy and 100 percent organic growth
  • How to naturally treat those pesky bugs and keep them away from your precious crops
  • Awesome space savers like vertical gardens and grow bags and how to use them

And much more.

We hear the word organic and assume that it is going to cost you. In a supermarket, maybe—but not when you’re growing it at home! When you invest in a packet of organic seeds, you can create a harvest for the entire growing season.

This may sound even more impossible without any gardening experience—more so without a garden. But you are about to learn just how simple and rewarding your urban garden can be.

If you are excited to grow your own amazing food and support your family in a healthy way, then buy now to get started today.

With food shortages of today, high levels of chemical use and low nutritional value in what we deem healthy food, this book is a must for any urban dwellers like myself. You’ll find incredible instructions on how and where to set up your urban garden. It’s still very early days for me, but it’s been very easy and I can’t wait to sample my own produce once it’s ready. Thank you

This was a good listen. Very informative and educational. I never knew I could grow my own food in my little space until I picked up this audiobook. It walks you through how you can convert little spaces such as balconies, walls, little closets, and even rooftops into gardens and plant fresh organic food free from all the usual chemicals that we otherwise consume from produce bought from the stores. This option not only gives us healthy food choices but also saves us a lot of money and prepares us for the unexpected. This is a must-have for everyone.

As someone who loves tomatoes and cucumbers, I never realized how easily they could be planted and flourish in a small space. According to the author, I can place them in a hanging planter or small boxed-off space and they'll thrive. I will put this to the test as I do not have a lot of outdoor space. Thanks for the tips!

Very Informative

This audiobook was very insightful and has introduced me to the term "Urban Garden." Having a small space, I didnt believe I could start my gardening project, but this book showed me how to utilize my room and focus on what matters. I think everyone should try to have a garden to grow organic food; as we've all read, more chemicals are entering our bodies from what we consume because of the need for mass production. When you have your garden, it lessens the cost of things, you can acquire the freshest food from your garden, and you'll know it's 100% organic. This book will assist you in reaching those goals, and I like that it is beginner friendly.

I have never been so excited to start my own garden!
I have been procrastinating for a long time due to my lack of knowledge on how to be successful with my own garden. This book has given me all the inspiration and motivation that I need.
I especially loved the guidance on transforming a closet into a little garden.. I didn't even know that was possible!
I recommend this book to everyone looking to create their own organic garden at home.

Great book to get started!
