I recently bought a little Inn in South Florida and I’m having a blast with it. While the limited grounds and courtyard are great habitat for people, and the fragrant and flowering plants have brought a resurgence of butterflies (the birth and launch of two morning doves was another highlight), I don’t have much space for growing food.

Can you recommend a resource for vertical gardening with limited sun light?

I’m sure I could pull of herbs and tomatoes, but I’d like to be more creative.

Thank you Gavin for creating this club, much can be gained by learning more about nature and especially about microbes. Just look at all the forests and notice how green they are, without fertilizer! Microbial interactions release the nutrients needed. My suggestion for a great read is “Teaming with microbes”!

One of my favorite things is turning over dirt for the first time since fall and seeing the rich black earth teeming with worms. so satisfying.

I've been working on soil for two days. Building raised beds. I'm a little sore.
