How to successfully grow food in containers or any small space
If you don’t have a lot of outdoor space, growing food can be frustrating.
Being limited to a patio, porch, or only a precious few feet of space can make you think that you'll never have homegrown food right outside your backdoor.
Container growing can fix that!
But planted containers can also be extremely beneficial to those of us who already DO have a garden.
How so?
Well, by growing in containers you instantly have a moveable garden! You can create lovely edible planters and strategically place them around your garden or patio to make a statement and draw in beneficial insects.
So the bottom line is that you CAN successfully grow veggies and fruit in teeny, tiny spaces. And you CAN do it in containers.
But what can make or break your success is being very intentional with your choices and how you set yourself up in the beginning.
That’s why I’m so excited to bring you this week’s guest.
Jessica Walliser has been on the podcast before. And she has a brand new book on container gardening.
But this book was unlike any container gardening book I had reviewed before. This book was more than an instruction manual on how to plant up a container.
It really sets the reader up for success by covering what happens AFTER you plant.
And the best part is that the information is just as valuable for people planting a small space in the ground as well.
You will learn: The 3 pillars of successful container growing How to be smart in your veggie choices Why pollinator pots are crucial in urban areas Favorite high producing dwarf edibles What is the thriller, filler, and spiller concept The biggest mistake people make with containers The best way to save $ when container gardeningAs always, you can get all the links mentioned and more information at www.LivingHomegrown.com/125 as well as a full transcript of the episode.
