Limited space? Garden vertically (Farmer’s Weekly)

When space is limited, vertical gardens are feasible options. Edible plants that do well are beans, tomatoes, cucumbers (mini), peppers, eggplant (mini), all kinds of leafy greens, salad flowers, most herbs and also strawberries.

There are hundreds of designs of vertical gardens that you can buy or make (the internet is a wonderful thing!) if you’d like to grow-your-own – even on a balcony. And you can use your YOLO compost in your vertical garden.

An informative insight from this article regarding this vertical garden system that is suspended above the ground is that “pests are limited to flying insects”. Great to keep in mind if you have issues with pests like snails and cutworms.
