Gardening by the inch-Square inch gardening

Square inch gardening is a technique that uses small containers to create mini greenhouses for growing plants.

You will need plastic containers, such as those used for raspberries or blueberries, to create the mini greenhouses. You will also need potting soil and seeds.

Open the container and make sure it is clean on the inside. Then, line the bottom of the container with a paper towel or filter.

Fill the container with potting soil and moisten it with water. Then, sprinkle the seeds according to the package directions and top it off with a thin layer of potting soil. Close the container and place it on a windowsill.

You can either pull the plants out of the ground or use scissors to snip away the desired greens. Once all the greens are gone, you can reseed the container.

Yes, square inch gardening is a great way to use up leftover seeds from the previous year. You can also find sources online for sprouting seeds if you have used all your old seeds.

Greens such as lettuce, turnip, and spinach are excellent plants to use for square inch gardening. They are well-suited to the small container size.
