No garden needed: how I grow vegetables all year round without spending a penny

You dream of eating fresh vegetables all year round, but you think you need a garden to do it? Mislead yourself! It is quite possible to grow vegetables without spending a penny and without needing a garden. In this article, I will share with you my advice to grow your own vegetables all year round, even if you don’t have a garden.

1. Choose vegetables easy to grow indoors

The first step to growing vegetables all year round without a garden is to choose vegetables that can grow easily inside. The most easy vegetables to grow in pot or indoors include aromatic herbs (basil, chives, parsley), cherry tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, spinach, and green beans.

2. Use recycled containers

To grow your vegetables without spending money, you can use recycled containers such as cans, yogurt jars, or plastic bottles cut in half. Just make sure you drill holes at the bottom of the containers to allow good drainage.

3. Find a good location for your plantations

It is important to find a good location for your indoor plantations. Choose a bright place, preferably near a window exposed to the sun. If necessary, you can also invest in growth lamps to help your plants grow.

4. Use home compost as fertilizer

To feed your plants and promote their growth, you can use home compost as fertilizer. You can make your own compost by recycling your food waste such as vegetable peels, coffee marc, or egg shells.

5. Water your plants regularly

Make sure to water your plants regularly, but without drowning them. Water requirements vary depending on the vegetables you grow, but as a rule it is best to water when the soil is dry on the surface. Use water at room temperature to avoid heat shock.

6. Harvest your vegetables when they are ready

Monitor your plants regularly and harvest your vegetables when they are ready. Most vegetables can be harvested as they mature, allowing you to enjoy your crops all year round.

Conclusion

With these simple tips, you can easily grow vegetables all year round, even without having a garden and without spending money. By choosing vegetables that are easy to grow indoors, using recycled containers, finding a good bright location, fertilizing with home-made compost, watering regularly and harvesting at the right time, you can enjoy fresh and healthy vegetables throughout the year.
