    Well it's all relative I guess.
    We have friends with large rambling farmhouses and acres of fertile land, while we live on 1/3 acre sitting on rocky shale, which is why I had to BUY a whole mess of topsoil to put this garden in. We are foregoing some things in order to put this garden in. Yet, I do realize we are lucky indeed to have the space and the funds to do it.
    My daughters both live in apartments with no yard at all. One has herbs in pots on the fire escape and is going to start growing wheat grass in her windowsills in trays- her little garden! I am sending her some other sprout seeds to grow in jars. You can grow sprouts anywhere inside- in jars, trays, or in hemp bags.
    It's an art to find creative ways to raise edible things in the smallest and/or most unlikely places (as i'm sure some of you already do).
    I read that some people grow oyster and other mushrooms under their kitchen sinks. I keep my worm-powered compost bin 'hive' in my kitchen, mostly because I enjoy them being right there to tend to them. Other people in apt's have their worm bins in their closets, or under the bed or under the sink, in a tupperware bin.
