Free primers for small-space growers

Short, practical guides on starting seeds, mixing potting soil, and sizing containers for balconies, windowsills, and small yards. Each guide points to the ebook that goes deeper.

A foundational guide to mixing small-space potting soil and understanding how drainage affects roots. It covers simple recipes for containers, how to test whether water is moving through, and when to repot.

Plan sowing and transplanting around your last frost date and the light your space actually receives. Note what worked each season, and adjust container size before the plant becomes root-bound.

Inspect the undersides of leaves and the soil surface once a week. Remove affected leaves early, wipe pests off by hand, and separate new plants for a few days before placing them near others.

Each guide is written as a starting point. The ebooks on the shop contain the full contents, previews, and format details.
