Container gardening is a great way to have your own garden irrespective of soil space. Dwarf varieties of many vegatables grow quite well in containers as long as there’s enough space between them.

1. Beans, peas & tomatoes grow in the ground without taking up much space

2. Radishes, spinach, dwarf carrots & onions grow well in window boxes that are large and deep

Take a look at lasagna gardening & organic gardening for popular alternatives. The former utilizes a compost heap while the latter saves you the trouble of fertilizers & pesticides.

Hi!

Container gardening it’s a good solution! With this technique you can also control more things as nutrients, pH, light, ecc… For example on Hydroponics website you can find container kits in different sizes.

Good luck!
