Deck vegetable gardening


from homegrownevolution blog



SIP hacker and horticultural Internet hero Josh Mandel's original pdf instructions for how to make your own.

Mandel's revised instructions with thoughts on how to eliminate the use of PVC plastics when building a SIP.

Where to buy a SIP: earthbox.com. Even if you build your own, you should follow the Earthbox company's user guide for how to fill the box, what kind of soil to use and how to fertilize.

For a nice example of rooftop and window gardening with SIPs see the Green Roof Growers of Chicago.

Ohio State University Extension Service's list of vegetable varieties for container gardening. These are varieties with smaller root systems that do well in small pots.
