How to Grow Food When You Haven't Any Land: Guerrilla Gardening, Land-share and Foraging

One option is to find unused or waste ground in your neighborhood and ask for permission to use it. Another option is to use raised beds or containers on someone else's property with their permission. You can also consider guerrilla gardening, where you plant in public spaces without asking for permission.

In a guerrilla garden, you can grow plants like potatoes, artichokes (both globe and Jerusalem), and various herbs. These plants can be planted under cardboard or carpet, using the decaying greenery underneath as a source of fertility.

Yes, foraging is another option if you don't have a garden. Look for wild edible plants in your surroundings, such as meadowsweet, Rose Bay willow-herb, nettles, brambles, ground ivy, and red and white clover. Remember to learn about foraging and identify plants correctly before consuming them.

If you come across apple trees in public spaces, you can harvest the fruit. Just make sure to check the ripeness and quality of the apples before picking them. Another option is to make apple cider vinegar or cook with the apples.

Yes, there are several medicinal plants that can be found in guerrilla gardens or while foraging. Some examples include Angelica, which is both medicinal and used as a sweetener, and plants like red clover and white clover, which can be used to make tea and have various medicinal properties like helping with inflammation or aiding in sleep.
