Become a compact gardener!

Gardening is good for you, according to a new infographic produced by Compost Direct. Older gardeners have a 36-47% lower risk of dementia than non-gardeners. However, with urban spaces on the rise there is less room for people who’d like to get into garden.

Thankfully, there are many ways to grow crops in small spaces – from potted plants indoors to veg patches and grow bags. Did you know that you can grow potatoes in compost bags and bin liners? Following a simple growing process you can enjoy some pristine spuds without needing a full size garden.

How about growing crops in specialist grow bags? With just a small amount of space, you can grow fruit and veg to feed your whole household – from tomatoes and carrots to herbs and courgettes.

Read the full infographic to see how to grow potatoes, tomatoes, veg patches and more. You can also find out how to maximise your growing area by building window boxes and vertical gardens, meaning that no matter what kind of outdoor space you have – there is no excuse not to garden!compact gardening (final)

    I keep meaning to grow potatoes in a bucket. Our garden soil is terrible, full of clay, so it just seems easier to try a container or two. Presumably potatoes will be less tasty to birds than the strawberries I attempted once!

      We’ve grown potatoes in grow bags and it was surprisingly easy! Good luck with your growing 🙂

    Nice infographic! I only have a few rows tomatoes in the garden. But I still have a space to place a wooden coffee table, where I usually drink tea every morning.
