    Very spiffy. Thanks for sharing.

    Everyone has 'limited space'. They just don't know it. I prefer containers for 'modern' veggies, as my actual 'garden' consists of wild plants that seed themselves, and therefore form a menagerie that is not in any kind of 'rows', etc. Containers also do a great job of conserving water.

    "Neglect not the small things, for all intrigues, and wars and truths are naught but small things, one built upon the other. Begin then, with the small, and look close, and ye will see it all."
    FYI: Dandelions are one of a few plants that are 100% edible. Flowers, stems, leaves, roots. Everything. Remember that, as it may save your life one day. Learn more here: http://wildcookery.wordpress.com/

    An excellent source for this:
    Google Square Foot Gardening.
    PBS has a whole series on it.
