A grow-your-own guide for the generation who'd rather eat compost than watch Gardeners' World, this book teaches you how to plan and plant your site for maximum nutrition, and suggests gardening projects to get underway while civilisation still stands, from growing dinner in a dustbin to a juice bar on a balcony. Irreverent, straightforward and useful, it shows even complete beginners how to grow enough of their own food to survive when Armageddon arrives and imports collapse. Or even if they don't.
