Fresh Food From Small Spaces

The Square Inch Gardener’s Guide to Year-Round Growing, Fermenting and Sprouting

Fresh Food From Small Spaces is a practical comprehensive and downright fun guide to growing food in small spaces without relying on complicated and energy-intensive systems like indoor lighting and hydroponics. Readers will learn how to transform their balconies and windowsills into productive vegetable gardens, their countertops into sprout and mushroom farms, and their patios into a haven space for honeybees and chickens. Amazingly, almost no space is too small or too dark to raise food.
R.J Ruppenthal, an attorney and professor at Evergreen Valley College in San Jose, California 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, Ruppenthal and his family have been able to eat homegrown food 365 days per year.
