This is great news for individuals with green thumbs living in the city like I am as it makes for some very easy gardening without too much of a mess or fuss. Heck it sure beats planting small gardens in plastic storage boxes like some people used to and in some very congested areas like Brooklyn still do. There are however a few tips and guidelines to be followed when one is trying to do what is usually done in cast land in extremely limited space and I’m not talking about your balcony or your patio here.
