Small spaces
Space-Saving Ideas
Vertical towers, hanging rails, and crate setups for tiny spaces.
Grow up, not out
Cucumbers, beans and even small squashes will happily climb a trellis or a strung line. A 30 cm pot at the base can yield a metre of growing space straight up.
Rail planters & hanging baskets
Strawberries, trailing thyme and tumbling tomatoes thrive in baskets — they spill, they look beautiful, and they free up your floor.
Crates and recycled containers
Wooden wine crates lined with hessian make perfect shallow herb gardens. Drill drainage holes in old buckets and tins — anything with depth and drainage can grow food.
Stacked towers
DIY vertical towers using stacked pots or fabric pocket planters give you 6–10 plants in the footprint of one.
