I have a small indoor garden made in recycled 2 liter bottles. I just recently got them assembled and filled them with soil. In 3 of the containers (which are the sub-irrigation kind) I have put some green onions in them. I went to the store and bought some green onions and cut off the tops and left an inch or so with the roots and planted them and they are now 8 inches tall. Amazing!! My basil is growing too. The tallest is 3 inches I have some dill that just sprouted. I can't wait to eat some!
very cool. I live in downtown Chicago and am lucky enough to have a 4' by 16' raised garden in a community garden. I am, however, new at gardening so will be watching your vids or hints. I first found you when I searched youtube for ways to keep my worms from escaping my compost bin. (I have a new WF360).
You shouldn't change everything just because of what some people called you out on. But hey, strong decision. I like it. I'm definitely going to be waiting for updates from you. Are you only planting lettuce and onions though? No cucumbers, carrots, any of that?
@nork3 I hear that, but my goal is to be able to eat from the balcony. Two meals in 10 months is far from that goal. More like a wake up call than being called out.
An idea you might try with your chard...I have chard that is almost two years old. I practive cut and come again with the chard, and it has been producing through every season! As long as you continue to cut it, then let it grow, you will end up with monster plants with the most flavorful leaves you have ever tasted! Just an idea you might want to try. Can't wait to see the progress!

Why not grow more "typical" vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.?

@xxDarkGregxx I only get 4-6 hours of sunlight. Those crops haven't done well.
