104homesteading.com has a list of books that I've printed and I recommend them all, even the suburban books because they teach u alot about gardening and how to maximize yields in small places and really cool pot and container ideas, and several tactics will work with canna also I feel. Small or dwarf autos on ur patio deck grown qith flowers and veggies and nobody would ever notice them. I stunted a photo last year and planted it in a raised flower bed and u had to really look to see the random colas popping out between the veggies and flowers. Got 7 colas the size of pop cans from it. Probably the funniest and funnest grow I've ever done. Minus the plant that grew in a pallet of bricks from us taking lunch on them every day and someone through a seed down not thinking anything of it and two weeks later we had a canna vine growing sadly we killed it because I needed the bricks in my sidewalk. But she grew well for several weeks.
@Eclectic Elle locate a PDF of a book called "Square foot gardening" http://www.squarefootgardening.com/...-with-free-intro-class-recording-and-handout/
Its basically SoG for veggies, and i can say from experience that it works extremely well. We pull more out of a 4 foot wide be than most chemical farmers pull from 10 foot wide areas.
