Vertical Vegetables by Amy Andrychowicz
This book came out in 2018, and the subtitle is Simple Projects that Deliver More Yield in Less Space.
I love going vertical indoors in small spaces, but as Amy shows us in this book, it's a strategy that also works brilliantly in our gardens.
Amy points out that when you grow upward rather than outward, you will double or triple the yield from your small-space garden.
Growing vertically not only potentially increases your yield but also gets your plants off the ground - increasing airflow, reducing the risk of soil-born disease, and making a crouch-free harvest.
Vertical Vegetables is packed with valuable information and beautiful DIY garden projects anyone can do, thanks to step-by-step instructions.
Amy includes lists of plants that are best suited for vertical growing.
Beyond the trellis, Amy shares what you can grow vertically using cages, stakes, tee-pees, a classic obelisk, or pergolas and provides creative plans for even more functional structures.
