Digging up life, planting vegetables, harvesting food sovereignty: right in the city.

Do you love city life but miss a patch of green or a space where you can plant your favorite vegetables, berries, and pots of herbs? You should have it, because a bountiful harvest is also possible in urban areas! Anna Meincke shows you how to get the most out of every corner: on rooftops, balconies, facades, in backyards, amidst traffic islands, on your windowsill, and even in the basement. This book also provides you with the right ideas on how to move soil to your balcony, create a raised bed on the roof, access seeds for unusual vegetables, why strawberries love garlic, or how to keep some helpful worms. This way, you can garden according to your space, direction, and taste, tailored to your needs. Make your city greener, more edible, and more livable!

Urban Gardening: Big city, ultimate harvest happiness. Anna Meincke's goal? No long transport routes, more awareness of seasonal foods, and creating food sovereignty - especially in urban areas. After all, most people live in cities - why shouldn't their food grow there too? Let's let mushrooms, Asian salads, and garden beans sprout in backyards, moss climb up gray facades, snack cucumbers reach for the sky on balconies, or plant pumpkins and eggplants in raised beds on the countless unused rooftop spaces. With this book, you can start gardening right away: Did you know that potatoes grow quite well in bags? Or herbs in pockets? Or mushrooms in buckets? Anna Meincke provides green visions and inspiration for planting everywhere: Vertical Gardening, hill beds, raised beds, urban farms - and if you're up for it, you can even invite fish and chickens into the urban jungle.
