Gardening in a Limited Space

It is totally possible to have fresh food you grew yourself, even if you live in a mobile home park with barely any un-paved earth to call your own. No, don’t go digging up that tiny patch of lawn and getting yourself kicked out. I am referring to suspended container gardening.
