Small space gardening

I've always wanted to make one of these....maybe this year?

This is clever!

Here's an idea!

Square foot gardening and layering of crops always helps. You can grow more cool and shade loving plants along the base of larger plants...things like lettuces, radishes, other greens.

Trellising is always a good idea and I love those pallet gardens...the pallets can served dual purpose as fencing and also for planting.

Bucket or bag gardening is pretty popular and those can be tucked onto balconies, patios, alongside the house, etc.

Straw or haybale gardening is growing in popularity and you can really grow a lot in those if you work it right.

Trellising over raised beds.

Even on your roof if you have built it to withstand the weight and moisture...

Terraced gardens

And even gardening on your coop...if you dare. My chickens would jump up there and strip that soon enough....

I REALLY LIKE some of those ideas @Beekissed! Thanks for posting those pictures. I want to get some of my squashes up off of the ground this year, and will be watching for different ways to trellis things. I've got the wood and the fencing to make some of these ideas possible. Thanks!

I have plenty space here, but I'm loving these ideas myself!
