Question

Square foot gardening?

Answer

For those who live in small apartments with little space, square foot gardening, or (when even less space is available) living walls (vertical gardening) are wonderful solutions. These use much less space than traditional gardening (square foot gardening uses 20% of the space of conventional rows; 10 times more produce can be generated from vertical gardens). These also encourage environmentally responsible practices, eliminating tilling, reducing or eliminating pesticides, herbicides, and weeding, and encouraging the recycling of wastes through compost. In small apartments, a Bokashi compost system is more practical than conventional composting.
