I have The Bountiful Container and love it. What other books are good for container gardeners?
BTW, I'm not so interested in the design books that show you how to put many plants in one pot.

When you already have the best, why mess with the rest?
Seriously, when I saw the title of this thread, The Bountiful Container was what I planned to recommend. It's what I always recommend to people who want to grow food in containers (I have it myself and use as much of its advice as I can).
