Gardening in Small Spaces | Live Free or Die: How to Homestead

so we live on an acre and a half of land
and we have plenty of space to garden so
we can grow all sorts of different
things but even if we had just a teeny
tiny yard we could also grow a garden
and I’m going to show you one way to
grow a garden in a really small area so
we harvested these metal barrels from a
business that was going to throw them
away so you can collect some metal
barrels and just kind of put them in a
row fill them with some really good
quality soil and grow some plants that
grow vertically that way you’re taking
up more vertical space and less
horizontal space so some good things
that grow vertically are piece which is
what we have right here and tomatoes
cucumbers will grow very tall if you
give them a nice trellis so the peas are
kind of like a spring crop and then as
soon as the peas are done fruiting and
we’ve harvested all the peas we can grow
something else in here like a tomato and
you can grow a tomato vertically as well
and just stake it and put it in one of
these cages I think most people be
surprised at how much you can grow in
just a teeny tiny little area so um next
time you see some barrels or some old
scraps of wood on the side of the road
just make yourself a little frame fill
it with some nice good quality soil and
handsome tomatoes or zucchinis or
cucumbers or kale or whatever you like
and give it a try the best way to learn
how to garden is to start gardening and
then you’ll really learn you know from
your hands-on experience and then
you know everybody has as much vertical
space baby so here’s one way to grow
food and you have a tiny yard and not a
lot of space
