Getting a start in urban gardening (organic, water, difference, vegetable)

[Joke Insurance]

Over the past few weeks, I've been skimming around, looking at what urban gardening is about. I am kinda considering doing it after reading about the benefits that it can give.

I was wondering; would you be able to give tips to a noob? Just somewhere where I can get off on teh right foot if possible. Thanks

You can do an amazing amout of gardening in 5 gal buckets. I suggest going to the library and reading about urban gardening specifically.

So you're saying that I wouldn't even need to use a plot of land? That sounds interesting. I will have to check it out now.

When you stop in at the garden store, check out the bags of ready to use soil. Slit the top to put your plant in the dirt, punch some small drainage holes in the bottom to let excess water drain, irrigate as needed. After the harvest, move the bag to a spot where additional soil would be beneficial, slit the bag open and rake the soil over the area.

I'm betting the OP would get more feedback if this thread were moved to the Gardening forum.

What is the difference between urban gardening and urban foraging?
