You do not need acres of ground to enjoy growing flowers, vegetables and fruit. Even in a small space there is plenty you can easily grow. Here's how:
- Line hanging baskets and containers with plastic to stop them drying out so quickly.
- Plastic containers hold moisture better than clay or earthenware ones, so less watering is needed.
- Position hanging baskets so that they are easy to reach.
- Use a pulley system or HiLo to lower and raise baskets.
- Choose plants that are easy to grow.
- Put the containers in a good position for getting rain and avoiding drying out.
- Grow fruit, vegetables and herbs in containers.
