Grampapa (screen name) on Dave' s Garden posted a very informative article about her experiences growing a variety of vegetables in Self-watering Patio Planters from Gardener's Supply. There are many photos showing the progress of her box garden plantings.
For those of you with small spaces, no yard, or no urge to dig in the dirt, I am here to tell you that you can still grow a large variety of vegetables for your kitchen. My 'patio farm' was a great success this year. Let me tell you about it.
The self-watering planter (26"x19") from Gardener's Supply wa my container of choice. There are other, similar planters, such as Earthbox® and homemade clones which would probably work just as well.
Rolling carts are available as an accessory to my planters, so I have several of them raised up to table height to make watering and picking easier for me. This is an excellent option for handicapped individuals to explore.
