I was watching the Smithsonian Channel on TV the other day and saw a program on how women in Africa are feeding their families in the middle of a slum by gardening in sacks. I then searched the Internet for additional information on this and came up with these articles.
Anyone can grow a garden in this manner! Even if you live in an apartment, you can grow some of what you eat. I can think of a few benefits of growing food this way:
No land required
Inexpensive to start
Very little care involved
Hard to overwater
Mobile - you can move it when the sun moves
Even if you don't have a lot of time, energy or land you can still grow some of what you eat next year. This spring, go to your local home and garden center and take a look at the seeds for sale. I bet if you look, you can find something to grow that your family likes to eat!
