Kitchen Garden Ideas

This garden gives you a chance to recycle plastic pipes, especially the six inch ones. Normally, the pipes are cut into half, filled with soil and fitted on wooden frames. However, to ensure the kitchen garden is completely organic, mix the soil with compost or animal manure that is well-composted. One part of the soil is mixed with a similar part of manure and some pebbles for better results.

The soil mixed with manure is filled three-quarters into the pipes to leave space for irrigating the crops. You can grow various kinds of vegetables in this garden including collard greens (sukuma wiki), spinach and even fruits like strawberries. One pipe can host up to 10 plants, which means you can have more than enough vegetables for your family.

Vegetable beds make good use of smaller spaces.

Multi-Storey Garden

Here, one uses gunny sacks, the bigger the better. The sack should be open on both ends, and then filled with a mixture of well-decomposed manure and soil, pebbles, a pipe for water supply. One makes holes on the side of the sacks where the crops would be planted, besides at the top. Each hole holds a seedling, enabling the farmer to plants 50 sukuma wiki plants and others in a 90kg sack garden
