The Best Budget Garden book I ever bought

This book explains how to make a garden on a budget in language you can understand, you don't need to go out and buy expensive fertilizers etc, A lot of things you can get for free, if you think you want to start a nursery or greenhouse this may help you also. This book will show you how to use different containers for plants, how to create new plants from the parent plant. Explains tools etc. A really good book for us thrifty people!

Web-footed gardener

If you've ever wandered through a friend's or neighbor's garden and seen something so remarkable and yet so simple that you can't believe you didn't think of it yourself, you have some idea of what it's like to read this book. The author has done a wonderful job compiling information on everything from amending soil and fending off pests to creating garden structures from free materials. This book is a motherlode of ideas. I've been using the library's copy, but I'm going to spend a few of my well-pinched pennies on a copy of my own.
