Three Ways To Grow An Edible Garden In A Box

By Olive Pate


If a person lives in an apartment or a condominium, it can be difficult to grow plants especially if one is not experienced in doing this. One can order an edible garden in a box where they do not need a backyard to grow plants that will be used for food. Here are a few steps that one can take towards having their own fresh ingredients for dishes they want to prepare.

It is important to have an idea of what can be grown in a limited space. Herbs are a great choice for planting in containers that are small. There are certain vegetables that require lots of space to grow, but there are smaller versions that can do very well and taste just as good. The choice could be based on what one likes to eat on a regular basis.

One should also grow herbs that they will actually use unless they are growing them for decorations and this also goes for vegetables. This is one of the best ways to save money, and a person will know what they are growing and putting in the soil they are using. So if a person is planting organic cilantro or parsley, and they do not have to be concerned about pesticides.

One can also make good use of whatever space they have by growing a few herbs in one pot. Sometimes this is done based on the type of family the plants come from, but in most cases it is based on what they need. If a plant needs to be in the sun often, then it will be difficult to pair this with one that needs lots of shade because it is delicate.

The same goes for other elements like the sun and water. There are certain plants like aloe vera that are native to areas that thrive on the hot sun. So it has to be in a place where there is lots of sunlight and this can be paired with another type of cactus plant if there is enough room for both. These are just a few examples of how to meet the needs of certain plants.

When a person decides to grow their plants indoors, they have to take extra steps to make sure that they survive. The soil that is in the yard outside, is different from what one will have indoors because there is always extra nutrients in the soil to facilitate what it does not have from the outside. This includes things like worms, leaves, and other things that end up in the soil.

So it is important to make sure that nutrients are added to the soil that is in a container. They should also have access to the sun for at least a few hours. The bottom of the container that is used should have holes at the bottom so that the water will not settle. The container itself should also be made of material that allows moisture to escape.

These are a few steps that one can take when growing herbs and plants indoors or on their balcony. There is a wide variety of foods that one can grow, but it is always best to grow something that will be used. Research should also be done to find out what certain herbs and vegetables need in order to thrive.
