[quote:Anonymous Coward 30839688:MV8yMDYzOTI5XzM1MjY4NTE0XzgyMTZGNUFF] [quote:Alexander:MV8yMDYzOTI5XzNERjM4QThD] 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. [/quote] I don't think it was mentioned here, but one very sustainable way of growing your own food particularly if you are living in a city is setting up your own little "hanging gardens" on your balcony. It's amazing how efficient this system can be. Or course you are not going to grow potatoes, tomatoes or fruit trees, but there are many vegetables, herbs and such which will do very well. There are several ways to go about it, from putting small and large pots on your balcony to literally make your vegetables grow hanging from the walls. I am not speaking of experience I have to admit but I know this method is gaining quite some popularity in large cities here in western Europe. You'll find even roof gardens here and there which produce sizable quantities of vegetables. [/quote]
