From the Canadian couple behind Planted in the Garden, a how-to guide for small-space vegetable gardening

Char and Marv are urban gardeners on a mission to prove that you don't need a lot of land to produce a bountiful harvest of homegrown vegetables. Using the lessons learned in their small-but-mighty Toronto garden, they offer first-time gardeners practical and accessible guidance for starting a vegetable plot of their own. From soil composition to irrigation solutions, The Compact Garden provides step-by-step instructions for gardening success at every stage.

• Create a small-space garden: Learn how to set up raised beds, containers, and vertical gardens to maximise growing space both indoors and outdoors.
• Grow beginner-friendly veggies: Discover which crops are easy to grow and low maintenance, including tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuces, beans, peas, and more.
• Harvest organic produce at home: Manage pests and fertilise plants without the use of synthetic chemicals.
