No yard? No problem. Tomatoes in 5-gallon buckets, herbs in window boxes, lettuce in shallow trays. All work great!

Replying to follow this thread. Very useful discussion!

My results were slightly different but in the same ballpark. Good advice overall.

Started tomatoes and peppers indoors 8 weeks before last frost. Lettuce and peas can go direct sow now.

I made every mistake in this thread before finding it. Wish I had read it sooner.

Tried three different approaches before this one worked. Persistence pays off.

My two cents: start simple and build from there. Dont overcomplicate it.

My experience: it depends on your specific situation but generally this is good advice.

Let your best tomato fully ripen, scoop the seeds, ferment 3 days, dry on paper towels. Free seeds forever!

First post here after lurking forever. This community seems really friendly.

Printing this out and putting it on my desk. Such helpful info!

This reminds me of a similar situation I had. The solution was patience.

Just tried this and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip!

Brown materials (leaves, cardboard) + green materials (food scraps, grass) = black gold. Keep it moist and turn it weekly.

Great explanation! Even a beginner like me could follow every step.

Tried soap bars, human hair, and motion sprinklers. Only a 7-foot fence actually works. Sharing what I learned.

My setup is slightly different but I adapted this advice and it worked great.

Saving this for later. Will report back with my results.
