Hello everyone,
I live in the Chicago suburbs (for now); Zone 5. I've loved gardening and growing things since I was a teen but never understood much beyond putting plants in the ground and watering them. I recently stumbled upon Charles Dowding's No-Dig videos on Youtube and am interested in experimenting with his methods. I'm still a beginner in my level of growing knowledge but enjoy the process of learning and implementing new things....seeing what fruits come of them.
I've grown a small garden 6' x 11'+ (in ground/not raised) for several years and had moderate success growing things like tomatoes, herbs, jalapeno peppers, lettuces, squash, zucchini, pumpkins, perennial flowers, etc..
I've since added another bed of the same size as my original. I'd like to produce as much of our food on our as as possible with limited ground space that receives direct sun. Eventually we plan to move to a property in a different state with fertile land and more open space to grow. We are seeking a life of greater self sufficiency.
I look so forward to getting to know you guys! I'm excited to share my successes and failures along the journey.
Best,
Roekinn
