Good one, Mudra.
There is a victory garden in the church yard across the way from us. Not sure how many people participate, but they have some great veggies over there. I never asked, but I assume people involved live in surrounding apartments.
In our yard we have a small veggie garden and also we compost yard clippings and kitchen scraps. Recently, after a storm, we went to beach and brought home seaweed washed ashore to go into compost bin. That adds heaps of minerals to the garden. I save coffee grounds and crumbled egg shells to put around certain plants like drwarf lemon trees to help keep snails away. They do not like to cross this mixture.
Speaking of apartments, it is amazing what can be grown in pots in sunny areas or on a little balcony, if one has one.
Also, a great idea is to get a sprout growing container and some sprouting seeds and grow some sprouts in your kitchen. I got mine at the health food store. Easy. And sprouts are so good for us.
In Love,
