1. What to plant?

As for a novice, to establish an edible garden, first of all, it is suggested to make a list of the eatable plants that are rich in nutrients, with a higher survival rate and yield as well as a relatively short harvest cycle, and most importantly, do not ask much for taking care.

Then, based on your site assessment and personal preference, target the plants from the list. To spare you from the trouble taking of collecting and processing information, here, we provide you with a list of some fruits and vegetables that are workable for home growing. You can refer to their basic information and decide what to grow in your garden or on your balcony.

2. Transforming a yard or balcony into an inviting environment for plants, where to start?

Next, we strongly recommend you assess your site before officially working on it, especially when you are a novice. Since your assessment result can direct you to walk on the right and easy way to transform your space into a pleasant environment for your plants in a logical and organized approach. Do not look down upon the value of this work, since many people’s giving up halfway begins with a confusing beginning. Here is a table that lists some factors required by your plants to thrive. Please pay attention, your assessment should base on the original condition of your place without human intervention.

According to the above table, you can see that, if you are not going to build a greenhouse, then factors of light radiation, temperature, carbon dioxide, and space are almost fixed there is not much can you work on. In another word, you don’t need to take too much trouble in improving these factors except for determining which plants can actually fit in.

Then, here comes the most decisive factor that deserves your effort, soil. As the home of our vegetables, fruits, or herbs, soil serves as the direct nutrients and water provider. Growing in soft, organic& mineral-rich, and pollution& fertilizer-free soil, edible plants can absorb adequate water and nutrients. Meanwhile, unlike those commercial producers who ask for higher yield in a shorter time and unit area, without the catalysis of fertilizers, the plants need more time and nutrient substances to grow before harvest, therefore being endowed with much better taste and flavor.

To improve the soil situation in your yard or on your balcony, the raised planter solution, boasting many irreplaceable advantages, is recognized by many senior and experienced gardeners.

3. Garden Bed Solution (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09R74BL9F)

A garden bed or garden edging usually refers to a contained bed of soil above the surrounding grade. Such a gardening supply can overcome the poor soil situation most simply without taking the trouble to weed, plow or fertilize the original soil. Since it is unlikely that the land agent leave you with nutritious and clean soil. Chances are that except for nutrient deficiency, the soil also comes with weed seeds, rocks, cement blocks, pest eggs, or an imbalanced acid base. Improving the soil to a plantable level indicates an unnecessarily long and tough battle. The basic structure of a raised planter allows you to directly fill it with fertile and clean soil, skipping the most head-scratching step and leading you to the part that interests you the most, seeding.

Additionally, with the side walls higher than the surrounding ground, a deeper space that can encourage your plant roots to grow down and outward is created. With a developed root system, your plant can grow bigger and stronger and thus bear more fruits.

Nowadays, to meet various needs and adapt to diverse site situations, garden border edgings have been designed in various sizes and types.

The most classic type (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T3L3Z79) comes with four sidewalls without a bottom. If your space is available, you can place two or more raised beds in your yard to plant different plants separately. The garden planter is usually made from solid wood, which is not only nontoxic for your plants but also can well integrate into your garden to add an idyllic vibe.

If your space is limited, a multi-layer raised vegetable garden (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XR1PPCK) can be a good choice. By increasing the number of layers, your planting area is expanded and separated vertically without taking up too much space.

The waist-height raised garden boxes are born for gardeners with back or knee diseases who are hard to bend down to the ground.

If you have the requirement to move your planters for seasonal or weather reasons, elevated planter boxes provided with rolling wheels are available.

Back yard food production, which now has turned into a solution to meet people’s basic health needs, is not only an interesting activity that is suitable for the whole family members to join in but also is an approach to cost-effectively obtaining adequate organic and nutritious food.
