INDOOR GARDENING
Greenhouse growing is one kind of indoor gardening. But that’s not really what we’re talking about here.
There are a couple of reasons to consider growing food indoors, right inside your home. One is to produce some greens in the middle of winter when they’re otherwise scarce – or expensive. The second? Limited space. Apartment dwellers regularly lament their inability to plant a thriving garden without an outdoor space in which to do so. But there are ways to produce food, even in limited space.
By adopting some of these tactics, even urbanites can have a hand in growing some of their own food.
