Who is Krista "KK" Mounsey?

Container gardening is the practical answer to a very British problem: no garden, or barely one. Balconies, back steps, a paved yard the size of a rug. Krista “KK” Mounsey takes on that constraint in 50 Things to Know About Container Gardening, and the numbered format tells you exactly what sort of help is being offered.

A list of fifty is not a treatise; it is a checklist, designed for dipping into and for settling small arguments before money is spent on compost. The subtitle spells the scope out, from starting a container garden to keeping one alive, which is where most first attempts quietly fail. Our records tell us nothing further about the author, so the work stands unaccompanied.

Thirty-six minutes. That is the whole thing, read by Ralph L. Rati, and the brevity is the point rather than a shortcoming: this is reference audio, meant to be played while you are actually holding a trowel.

The listener response has been mixed, hovering a little above three stars across a small set of verdicts, which is a fair reflection of what a short primer can and cannot do. Come to it for orientation rather than depth, and if you have never planted anything in a pot, half an hour beforehand will save you a season of guessing. The listing below shows what is available.
