Coming to a store near you: The Lawnchair Garden
Posted on | June 17, 2009 | No Comments
The first garden I had in a place of my own was on a tiny veranda outside of my tiny apartment. I grew a whole bunch of stuff — tomatoes, herbs, lettuce, zucchini, etc. — in little redwood planter boxes I had liberated from my parent’s house. I loved it. No pests, no weeds, and plenty of fresh veggies to supplement a steady diet of rice, ramen and mac n’ cheese. (My downstairs neighbors weren’t as appreciative as it made for a frequent rain of runoff onto their patio furniture below.)
Patio Gardening made easy
I, of course, have moved on to playing in the dirt on a much (much) larger scale, but for those who want fresh food but either don’t like all that tilling, digging and weeding, or simply don’t have the room or time for it, there’s a whole bunch of new easy-gardening products hitting home centers near you that’ll deliver great gardens without much effort.
The Wall Street Journal, of all publications, has a great little article today on all of these new container gardening products (even one called “Farm in a Box”), and one Journal writer’s experience with them. I found it quite entertaining, and you might as well. Check it out.
