One of the more interesting ways to garden is to grow items in containers. You might be surprised at the types of plants you can grow in a container garden. From using espaliering to grow apple trees in a container, to herbs, to a variety of vegetables , it’s possible to transform a small space into an effective container garden.

Instead, you broke your budget buying every gadget from the big box gardening store – not to mention the pricier mature plants and the chemicals to make them grow faster and produce more. Our grocery budget dropped by over $40 per week in the third year of my gardening efforts and it gets better every year.

Coined in 1973 by Liz Christy and her Green Guerrilla group in New York City, guerrilla gardening uses “seed grenades” as a way of introducing vegetation to empty lots in NYC in order to make the city look better. Want to get involved in doing some guerrilla gardening of your own? Sounds pretty civil indeed, if you ask me!

One of the things I enjoyed about living in a home was the gardening. I’m starting to grow an indoor herb garden, but I also want to be able to grow certain vegetables, even though I’m in an apartment. This is where the balcony container garden comes in handy.

My garden. I save money where I can, reusing old food containers for my multitude of seasonal seedlings, getting free five-gallon buckets from the bakery to use for extra growing space, making compost from our fruit and vegetable scraps, and starting almost everything from seed.
