This raised bed has leaves, straw, manure, and Starbucks coffee grounds. We love our layered gardening as it will have very few weeds. Starbucks has a program for their used coffee grounds called "Grounds for Coffee". You can pick them up their used coffee grounds for free. The worms love it! [/quote]

Eating ones own food from ones own yard is immensely satisfying. There are so many ways to produce one food and this thread is devoted to ways to create small gardens even to growing food in pots inside or on a balcony. My favorite form of gardening is aquaponics where fish are also grown and the water is filtered through the water beds to nourish the plants - which in turn filter the water which is recycled back into the fish tank. Aquaponic units can be any size.
One of the larger ones in Hawaii can be viewed at www.friendlyaquaponics.com
