Just because you live in a small apartment does not mean you cannot enjoy the taste of fresh, home grown vegetables.
While gardens for apartment dwellers may require a little bit of imagination, there are ways to grow herbs and vegetables that you can enjoy the year around! Kitchen gardens were once described as small garden spaces on the back patio, or in an area of the yard near the kitchen door.
Fresh herbs, such as basil, chives, oregano, parsley and sage were just a step ot two away from the kitchen for easy picking.
Today, aeroponic gardening makes it possible to grow these herbs, as well as your favorite vegetables, like lettuce, radishes, and even tomatoes right in your own kitchen! Kitchen gardening with aeroponic technology has been tested exclusively by NASA, for possible use on the International Space Station for the past several years.
By using the proper mixture of air, nutrients and water, along with an artificial light source, results from this type of gardening has been quite successful.
For apartment dweller, these aeroponic gardens are a terrific way to grow your favorite kitchen garden crop, and have fresh herbs and veggies right at your finger tips.
You can use small counter top models for growing herbs, and small veggies.
There are larger models, that take up only as much room as a corner book stand, or floor lamp, that you can use to grow tomatoes and roomier vegetable plants.
Because no soil is needed, this type of gardening is not messy, and is perfect for any small apartment.
Gardens for apartment dwellers have come a long way in the last decade.
Through the use of aeroponic gardening techniques, your kitchen gardens can be as bountiful as any outdoor garden!
