This book went into great detail in explaining the different techniques in growing a windowsill garden. I found it very useful in going through great lengths about different indoor plants and how to care for them. I was a bit disappointed with the fact that only a very small portion of the book was dedicated towards growing edible plants indoors, which is what I read the book intending to learn about.
