Great to see Alessandro in this! I like his vertical planting setups and how he recycles things to use in the garden.

Please keep the small spaces series coming! I love it! My grow bags are in a tiny kiddie pool to make watering easier! #mobilityissues

OMG! I'm sooo happy Spicy Moustache was in this video! Absolutely love the duo!
Also super helpful that you guys released a small-space video. A lot of gardening videos have huge spaces but it's nice to see something for us small-space folk! All of these tips are amazing!

Making macreme planters have made me able to fit about 16 to 18 plants in my tiny 2x8 ft balcony. Earlier i had half the number of plants in the same space it felt congested, cluttered and disorganized. I've made the macreme planters myself but had to buy the s hooks so got it all that done for less than abt $15.

Edit: i can fit about 8 or 9 more if i drilled holes and mounted stands into walls...i hang the others from the overhanging grills of the balcony

I want to say I have forwarded many of your videos - but your short, four minute kratky one from a while back mostly. Nowadays with the world so nutty, I believe it is really important for people to be growing - or at least supplement growing, what they eat. In a SHTF scenario - you definitely don’t want to have an outdoor garden for all who are hungry, to see. Your four minute video on Kratky someone sent me years ago - is THE PERFECT INTRODUCTORY VIDEO and has kept me growing ALL KINDS of herbs/veggies for 247/7/365 for years now - on a bakers rack with some black tubs and led’s. We eat from our Indoor kratky garden DAILY. I honestly believe every single household needs a 3d printer and a kratky setup. I could go on for hours on all we have grown, and tried - with ZERO bugs, or need to treat chemically…anyway. Thanks a lot for changing our lives, for sure. 👊🏽

Yes perfect timing! I currently live in a SE facing apartment in MD with a 4x9 foot balcony. My balcony is full of grow bags for cucumbers, tomatoes, tomatillo, zucchini, mini squashes and melons, etc., as well as a vertical structure of herbs and of strawberries. I also turned my second bedroom into my garden room with an indoor planter table next to my big window - that’s where I’m growing leafy greens and some cooler temperature root veggies.

Still finding that I’m running out of space and need to get more crafty with it, so this is perfect timing 😊

Nice collab wasn't expecting to see Spicy Moustache that was a nice surprise

I'm used to small space gardening. In 2019, when I was able to garden at home, I used fabric pots. In one I grew an Early Girl tomato plant, some marigolds and nasturtiums, and a couple of market more type cucumber plants. In the other two, I grew California Wonder pepper plants, bunching onions, and marigolds.

When I first started growing we lived in an apartment with no balcony. Using grow lights and grow bags we were able to put together a pretty impressive little indoor garden! Luckily we have moved to a house with some room and have a large garden now, but it's nice to have the knowledge of small space gardening because we still use some of that knowledge even now with our large garden! Awesome video!

Love Spicy Moustache! I’ve followed him and he has much to offer growing and recycling.

[marissadavidson]

Perfect timing! My boyfriend and I are planning our garden now for our apartments' garden plots!

[maplesyrup]

Liked the Spicy Moustache cameo. Love to see you do another UK trip and hit up Dowding, Chilli Chump, Huw Richards and more.

[princessdi]

Glad you put out this video today, you are inspiring! I just up cycled gallon water bottles as planters this morning. I also love watching the spicy mustache!

[NextdoorHomestead]

Super high density is seriously the key! Very well said Kevin.

Like you, we've got a bit more space than when we started but learning to plant and plan for density is still the best tip I can offer to anyone setting up a new garden!

Really enjoyed this one 😁

URBAN GARDNERS are close to my heart❤. It doesn't take a sprawling suburb homestead to grow amazing food for your family and grow a better future.

Great info. Love to see spicy joining the team.
