Hey everyone, I just moved to a tiny apartment in the city and I’ve been dying to grow my own veggies without needing a backyard! I stumbled upon this super simple idea for an “easy urban garden” using old soda bottles and a sunny windowsill - basically, you cut the bottles in half, fill the bottoms with soil and seeds (like herbs or lettuce), and hang the tops upside down as a self-watering system. It’s like a mini hydroponic setup but zero cost and no fancy gear!
Has anyone tried something like this or got tweaks to make it even easier for total beginners? I’m starting with basil and cherry tomatoes this weekend - fingers crossed it works! What’s your go-to hack for squeezing greenery into small spaces? So excited to hear your stories! 🌱🚀
