‘Krukkekøkkenhave’ is not a word found in the Danish Dictionary. Yet … For there is no doubt that this book taps into a couple of major current trends. Partly growing your own edible crops, and partly growing them in limited space. It’s all about urban gardening. The book thus speaks to everyone who ‘only’ has a balcony or a terrace, but of course also to garden owners with more space.
Growing in pots makes it possible to create a beautiful kitchen garden. Throughout the season, you can move things around and swap them out as you harvest. Combined with flowers – for example, edible ones – you can achieve a very special look and atmosphere, to the delight of both people and bees.
In the book, I share my experiences with container gardening and talk about the basic idea, plant containers, soil, fertilizer, and watering. There are also practical descriptions of sowing and planting various crops – not just vegetables, but also berries, fruit, and herbs. In addition, a number of Danish urban farmers are profiled, who have been inspired and captivated by the new green lifestyle.
