EASY-PEASY A good garden is all about sun, soil and easyto grow veggies and herbs. Keeping it simple in the beginning is the key, and container gardening is as simple as it gets. These manageable garden beds keep everything in a separate environment and away from the ground. Products on the market like the Vegepod are customised for any space, whether that’s apartment balconies, townhouse gardens, spacious backyards, or even indoor lofts. Once it’s set up, you’ve got a go-to grocery store in your home. 1. Select a sunny spot and set up Locate the sunniest spot in your house or outdoor area. If you have a space that gets a few hours of sun in the morning, start there; as little as two hours in the morning will suffice. Planting indoors? Same rule applies. Sun via a window in the morning is best, and if afternoon sun is all you can get, that’s ok too, it just means you will need to keep your watering up. Then set up. Container gardening is designed to be foolproof. In Vegepod’s case, it’s just a slide and click together mechanism and you have a 2m x 1m container ready in under an hour. There’s also a built-in protective canopy to shield the garden from pests and inclement weather – upping the success rate of your veggie patch. pindaramagazine.com.au Pindara Magazine 67
