Yes perfect timing! I currently live in a SE facing apartment in MD with a 4x9 foot balcony. My balcony is full of grow bags for cucumbers, tomatoes, tomatillo, zucchini, mini squashes and melons, etc, as well as a vertical structure of herbs and of strawberries. I also turned my second bedroom into my garden room with an indoor planter table next to my big window - that s where I m growing leafy greens and some cooler temperature root veggies.
Still finding that I m running out of space and need to get more crafty with it, so this is perfect timing

Everybody calls me crazy for crammin'. But Kevin does it in his raised beds and pots and grow bags. Me, I have a limited amount of space and only have 3 of 4x2 raised bed grow bags right now. I may get 2 or 3 metal beds for next season to add more plants and so my plants are not as close together because I feel I could be overcrowding. I really want to try my hand at sweet corn but that could potentially take up 1/3 or more of my yard which is also covered by a massive maple tree.

Making macreme planters have made me able to fit about 16 to 18 plants in my tiny 2x8 ft balcony. Earlier i had half the number of plants in the same space it felt congested, cluttered and disorganized. I've made the macreme planters myself but had to buy the s hooks so got it all that done for less than abt 15.
Edit: i can fit about 8 or 9 more if i drilled holes and mounted stands into walls. i hang the others from the overhanging grills of the balcony

I'm used to small space gardening. In 2019, when I was able to garden at home, I used fabric pots. In one I grew an Early Girl tomato plant, some marigolds and nasturtiums, and a couple of market more type cucumber plants. In the other two, I grew California Wonder pepper plants, bunching onions, and marigolds.

I love your ideas. In my yard, which is mostly trees, plus s toddler play yard and a dog yard for 3 huskies, we don't have a lot of space. I made 3 4x4 short raised beds, 5 small tower planters that are 3 high, I is 5 high (dollar tree) and 8 14 inch pots. I love seeing your raised beds

Super high density is seriously the key! Very well said Kevin.
Like you, we've got a bit more space than when we started but learning to plant and plan for density is still the best tip I can offer to anyone setting up a new garden!
Really enjoyed this one

Growing in small recycled bottles isn't recommended. Newbies will just have a hard time constantly watering in the summer. What was enjoyable becomes a constant chore and within their first season they get put off a second season. 2: 31

Is there anything other than grow bags that would work (similar to? I have a couple small raised beds and put my tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets, but I would like to be able to put more in my limited space.
