Small space gardening

Post by Crows »

As I said in my intro post, I have not got much room in my garden. I was wondering if anybody had ways to maximise the space to grow food.

What I think would work so far (that I've gathered):
Bags of potatoes
Rabbits (not sure how many though)
Potted veg (don't know which ones though)
To prep or not to prep?

There is no question!

Have a look at my post 'Square foot gardening'. A search on you tube for that will give you some tips too.
Right now if you want to put veg in pots, get some seed spuds (out of the bottom of the sack will do at a pinch).soon you can grow tomatoes, courgettes and even runner beans.
Rabbits. 3does and a buck will give you a rabbit to eat every week. This I know, as I have a dozen does and a couple of bucks. They take uplittle space.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

How about vertical gardening?

Here is one link but there's plenty more if you google it.

If you don't have much space, potatoes are not worth growing - they are cheap as chips (see what I did there?) and not under threat.

Tomatoes, soft fruit, runner beans, dwarf french beans (really, really easy), salad leaves - all of these would be better to grow for flavour, and for maximising return. Some nice remontant strawberries or autumn raspberries to provide dessert in the evening...
