Get Back To Your Roots!
"I don't think this is simply a trend-I personally think we are simply going back to our roots."
I couldn't have said it better. The idea of starting our own gardens and growing our own food is, well, written in our ancestry and it's as normal as breathing. We've gotten away from it, but there is an "instinct" to get back to it.
But! It can feel daunting! So how do we get started in a way that doesn't feel like a total overhaul? Enter container gardening. And this audiobook has it all, from how to get the soil right to how to care for your garden, and even troubleshooting later on.
I particularly liked the section on "advanced techniques". Succession planting, companion planting, and propagation. The author does a great job at opening up your mind to what's possible, even in containers!

Perfect guide for its niche audience!
"DIY Container Gardening" by S.K. Barnett should be a massive help for anyone interested in starting their own garden, especially if they don't have a lot of space. The narrator's clear and articulate American voice made the audiobook easy to understand and engaging.
It seemed to me that the book does an excellent job of breaking down the gardening process into simple, actionable steps. From choosing the right soil to dealing with pests, it covers everything a beginner needs to know. I felt like the tips on harvesting and storing produce were particularly valuable, as they are often overlooked in other gardening books.
Advanced techniques like succession planting might seem a bit complex at first, but they're explained in a way that's easy to grasp. Overall, this book provides some awesome guidance to people by making gardening accessible and enjoyable, even for those with limited space.

This has been ideal for relaxation
Some of us will comprehend that not all soil is the same and depends on how we accomplish anything we'll end up with lower than expected results. Now i've found gardening and planting all sorts of things very relaxing thats turning to a hobby. But if we have bad soil or have bad planting techniques we can run into different obstacles and can lead to stress. But following these instructions to ensure success and the best results possible will be quite awesome. Each of us might experience pests but depending on how we plant things near other plants we can have a natural pest control. I loved every ounce of this audio including the wonderful narrator. Gathering all these valuable instructions we will all be the best possible.
