No Space? No Cash? No Problem! Overcoming Obstacles To Growing Your Own Vegetables and Herbs

A discussion of how individuals can grow their own food with limited resources, monetary and otherwise. I'm in my third season of growing my own vegetables and I try to spend less than $50 each year on my two garden plots and indoor plantings.
