In this second episode, Ashley Kirnan and Andrea Burke tell their stories of how they started gardening, share their ideas for gardening in smaller spaces, a little bit about the dentist, and their favorite things for the week!
Recommendations and tips for small scale growing:
- Make use of vertical space (cucumbers, melons, squash, snap/sweet peas, gourds, climbing flowers)
- Source good soil locally (if you’re local, feel free to ask for recommendations!)
- Grow what you will actually eat and what you actually like
- Rethink how close you plant things together (And could they be planted closer?)
- Build small raised beds
- Grow in garden pots on a porch/driveway
- Grow in a kiddie pool/extra large pot
- Take notes every year and really get to know the best place to grow in order to not waste garden space
- Plant seasonally and reuse space throughout the season (pull spring crops and use that space for the fall garden)
- Utilize local farmers
