i have read the postings about the gardens or rather none gardens thought to pass on the way i have made mine work with little effort
I grow strawberrys. blue berrys, goji berrys, black currant , black berrys, red currant and all my herbs, peas. green beans, butternut squash . lettuce assorted varietys, tomatoes and three different sorts of potaotes. all are grown in tubs or buckets and i have no digging to do and very few weeds to pull. i can use all my washing up water if there is a drought and can give feed as needed.
the climbing plants are placed into tubs and then i purchased several cheap rose arches, the feet of the arches are each pushed into the tubs and a mesh fastened to the frame. last year i had a fantastic easy to pick harvest of fresh veg grown this way and as the arches can be placed over a pathway then no room is lost. i have flowers and buterflies and then fresh veg.my potatoes are grown in woven rubble sacks. these can be cut down if too tall and then simple sew across the bottom of the cut of section and you have another veg growing container.
no more thorns from roses and no wasted space but still a wonderfull flower display and many envious comments from friends who have this year decided to do their growing and harvesting the same way.all you need is a garden path.
i hope this will encourage other to have a go.
if you get too much rain then simple cut the bottom and side of a plastic carrier bag and pop it around the tub and tie in place. you can also protect young plants from late frosts this way and the plastic bag acts as an incubater
