So I’ve decided my first home garden will be Green Beans and an Apple Tree. I have very little hopes of me keeping an Apple tree alive, but I think I can grow green beans. The entire family likes them, and I think it would be a good experiment to say the least. Lisa had mentioned she wanted to remove the swing set, as the kids rarely ever play on it. that section of the yard would make a great area for an above ground garden. I do have an issue with water pooling there, so I would have to fix the drainage issues first.
So to get this started, we must first research what to do. I would like to try either hydroponics or aeroponics. Aeroponics looks like it might be the easiest to deal with right out of the gate though. Much less time/effort/money to invest into the project.
Here are some links/videos I’ve been watching on the subject.
