More Details

Summary:

Derek Fell has tried and tested thousands of varieties of vegetables, flowers, and fruits and recommends the best plants for space-saving vertical gardening. His grow-up, grow-down system also shows which ground-level plants make good companions underneath and alongside climbing plants. Many of Fell's greatest climbers and mutually beneficial plants are available in seed packets in every local garden center. --from publisher description
