- Utilize resources for edging of garden
- bicycle wheels
- plastic bottles (filled with water to make heavy- you can even add food dye to make colorful)
- old raft (fill with plastic water bottles to hold down)

- Nice light soil
- A light mixture includes charcoal (which absorbs unwanted nutrients, coconut shredding, and compost (you can get this from manure and worms or a nice mixtures of browns and greens (organics and leaves/wood cuttings...)
- Utilize your vertical space
- build plants in a pyramid shape to utilize space
- use hanging plants
- you can use strong mesh bags, jeans or anything sturdy enough to hold up soil, cut a "v" shape into the sides of the bag, and put a nice cherry tomato plant in.
- Mixed Cropping
- Plants often complement each other. For example, coffee waste can be used to grow mushrooms!
