I want to start a food garden in my basement. I figured I start with 2 to 4 of easiest fruits or vegetables to grow. I just have no idea where to start. Like what kind of pots do I buy? Soil? I don't think I could do hydroponic plants. Is that harder than soil? What kind of lights should I use? I mean amazon has its suggestions but who are they ya know? I'm taking any an all advice. Thank you so much!
Pots ? The larger the better ! Buy good topsoil,, not potting soil ! I assume you will use grow lights rather than any natural light ! Basements are usually without windows ! If you are in an area that has compost thats even better ! Some towns do have it ! Are you going smart or organic ?
Marissa, I haven't a clue regarding growing things in a basement. I'm sure you will get excellent advice here. We have people who are expert at outdoor gardens.
In researching growing inside, it was recommended to use store bought soils to avoid importing any pests into your indoor garden.
