Urban Garden Tips - Ideas for Taking Advantage of a City Site
Urban gardening can mean anything from a pot or 2 on the fire escape to a plot in a community garden. What they all have in common is how welcome any spot of green is in the middle of concrete. Although urban gardens can take advantage of small garden design tips, there are still more way for city apartment gardeners to get the most from their space.
Space is no excuse for not composting. The City Gardener here provides a step-by-step pictorial of how to compost in a small bin, under your sink. These little guys are incredible fast at their work and the result is rich in nutrients for your plants. BTW - there’s no odor and very little chance of the worms escaping.
Community Supported Agriculture is a great way for city gardeners to get all the benefits of an abundant vegetable garden. By becoming a share holder in a local farm, you’ll receive your portion of fresh, seasonal vegetables & flowers in exchange for a fee and/or some farm labor. It’s a great way to get your hands dirty. No farm in sight? Participate through a Farmers’ Market.
