"I don't think this is simply a trend-I personally think we are simply going back to our roots."

I couldn't have said it better. The idea of starting our own gardens and growing our own food is, well, written in our ancestry and it's as normal as breathing. We've gotten away from it, but there is an "instinct" to get back to it.

But! It can feel daunting! So how do we get started in a way that doesn't feel like a total overhaul? Enter container gardening. And this audiobook has it all, from how to get the soil right to how to care for your garden, and even troubleshooting later on.

I particularly liked the section on "advanced techniques". Succession planting, companion planting, and propagation. The author does a great job at opening up your mind to what's possible, even in containers!

"DIY Container Gardening" by S.K. Barnett should be a massive help for anyone interested in starting their own garden, especially if they don't have a lot of space. The narrator's clear and articulate American voice made the audiobook easy to understand and engaging.

It seemed to me that the book does an excellent job of breaking down the gardening process into simple, actionable steps. From choosing the right soil to dealing with pests, it covers everything a beginner needs to know. I felt like the tips on harvesting and storing produce were particularly valuable, as they are often overlooked in other gardening books.
