Vegetable and Herb Gardening In Containers With Maggie Stuckey
Given reported supermarket shortages of fresh salad and veg plus exorbitant prices, there's never been a better time to consider growing your own, if you don't already.
Our guest this week is an American garden writer who grew up on a farm in the Deep South of the US and has written many books about growing your own veg - Maggie Stuckey.
Maggie and our own John Stirland are of like minds and spend half an hour putting the case for container gardening of veg and herbs to a sceptical podcaster. Do they succeed? You'll need to listen to find out and in the process perhaps be converted yourself.
They cover the golden rules for container veg and herb gardening, what to grow and how to get the best out of very little space.
