Hello HGM. First post here. I just moved into a new apartment and I've got a small outdoor fenced-in patio to myself. Floridafag here. It's roughly 10'x12', but only the rear half gets good sun because of an overhead deck (and tall fences.) Pic related.
I'm trying to figure out how best to utilize this space. First, I'll sweep up all the goddamn pine needles. The dirt is covered with concrete pavers, but I may leave them like that as I don't think grass will grow properly in this area.
Plan is to use these plastic grow bins in the center of the sunlight, maybe 2 rows, 3 bins each. I want to do edibles in these: tomatoes, chard, herbs, bell peppers & jalapenos, squash.. maybe other stuff. Each bin is roughly 2'x3' and a foot deep, giving me ~36 cubic feet of soil. Will post pic of the grow bins next.
