Continuing the theme of gardening in a small space, I thought as I was in the garden moving grow bags. Why not set up a little demonstration of very small scale gardening.
So, I have one pallet, it's a standard pallet, about 3'x4' in size. On it I have put 3 grow bags, a deap window box, and a large terracotta pot.
So far I have planted 2 of the grow bags, plus the window box and the terracotta pot.
The window box contains Runner Bean - Pickwick, then in one grow bag I have two tomato plants + 1 pepper, in the other a mixed lettuce, onions, and beetroot (When the seed arrives).
The large terracotta pot contains an apple, variety is James Grieve, on a M26 rootstock.
All of this in the space of a standard pallet.
Don't have the space for the pallet, select the part of it you do have space for? A window box of beans, a single apple tree, or a grow bag of salad?
This is an on going project, and as the summer goes on I will update you all on how things grow. And the harvest I get off it.
