Living near a university is a great advantage as we are able to learn, adapt or buy latest projects or researches done by professors. My pots of veggies/herbs are planted in recycled softdrink bottles and are hanging on my fence. I got the whole set (4 bottles, 4 seedlings, 4 packs of special soil, a bottle of organic fertilizer ) for only P120.00 ($3). The fertilizer is good for 1 year as the plants are only fertilized once a week with the diluted solution. The soil can be used repeatedly if a veggie is already harvested.
I have Mint Basil, Romaine Lettuce, Celery, Sweet Basil and Coriander hanging on my fence. What makes it totally pleasurable is seeing the plants grow each day. It is also delicious as it is cut or harvested just before eating, aside from the fact that the plants are pesticide-free.
Preparing a ham sandwich with romaine lettuce from my "garden" is much more fun and doubly delicious.
