This episode is a quick introduction to our urban homesteading journey and our future plans for this podcast. We started many years ago with container gardening in a fairly small space and have grown over the years to an 8,000 square foot lot with a vegetable, flower and rose garden along with keeping quail for fresh backyard eggs. We also have a small fruit orchard that we are trying to establish and we enjoy doing a lot of DIY projects around the house. Join our adventure and learn and grow with us!
One of our favorite containers for container gardening is called an EarthBox. We started with these “self watering” containers as new gardeners and were successful with growing a variety of vegetables. If you are a container gardener, check them out. Even though we have a large yard with raised beds now, we still have a few EarthBoxes strategically placed around the yard to increase and maximize our growing space.
And while we are the subject of favorites, here are 3 gardening must haves around our urban homestead garden:

Sloggers gardening shoes…they also come as boots too! They are waterproof and there are a variety of prints and colors to choose from.
We love Down to Earth products including this vegetable fertilizer which we use throughout our garden for all types of plants.
Velcro plant ties are a must haves around here. They can be cut to the needed length and they are both durable and reusable.
