Gardening & Houseplants
Small-space growing fails for predictable reasons: too little light, too much water and pots with no drainage. Start with herbs on a kitchen windowsill, where you can see the plant every day, then move to tomatoes in a pot and a planned balcony garden. The compost guide closes the loop by turning kitchen scraps back into soil. Nothing here assumes a garden or a greenhouse.
