Description: Books on container gardening have been wildly popular with urban and suburban readers but until now there has been no comprehensive "how - to" guide for growing fresh food in the absence of open land. Fresh Food from Small Spaces fills the gap as a practical comprehensive and downright fun guide to growing food in small spaces. It provides readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to produce their own fresh vegetables mushrooms sprouts and fermented foods as well as to raise bees and chickens all without reliance on energy - intensive systems like indoor lighting and hydroponics. Readers will learn how to transform their balconies and windowsills into productive vegetable gardens their countertops and storage lockers into commercial - quality sprout and mushroom farms and their outside nooks and crannies into whatever they can imagine including sustainable nurseries for honeybees and chickens. Free space for the city gardener might be no more than a cramped patio balcony rooftop windowsill hanging rafter dark cabinet garage or storage area but no space is too small or too dark to raise food. With this book as a guide people living in apartments condominiums townhouses and single - family homes will be able to grow up to 20 percent of their own fresh food using a combination of traditional gardening methods and space - saving techniques such as reflected lighting and container "terracing." Those with access to yards can produce even more. Author R. J. Ruppenthal worked on an organic vegetable farm in his youth but his expertise in urban and indoor gardening has been hard - won through years of trial - and - error experience. In the small city homes where he has lived often with no more than a balcony windowsill and countertop for gardening Ruppenthal and his family have been able to eat at least some homegrown food 365 days per year. In an era of declining resources and environmental disruption Ruppenthal shows that even urban dwellers can contribute to a rebirth of local fresh foods.
