Maximise your space by growing plants vertically using trellises, hanging baskets, or wall-mounted planters for climbing vegetables

Grow plants in pots, containers, or raised beds to make the most of limited space. Containers can be moved around for better sunlight

Opt for smaller, space-efficient plants like herbs, leafy greens, and dwarf vegetable varieties that don’t require much room to grow

Select a sunny spot for your garden, as most vegetables need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Even a small balcony, windowsill can work

Invest in good-quality soil for better growth. Compost or organic soil additives can improve soil health, so that the plants get the nutrients

Water your plants efficiently by using drip irrigation systems or self-watering pots, which help conserve water

Grow complementary plants together (like tomatoes with basil) to maximise space and improve plant health

Choose plants that serve dual purposes, such as herbs like mint or parsley, which you can harvest for cooking

Keep your plants healthy and productive by regularly pruning dead or overgrown branches. This allows for efficient use of space

To maintain soil health and prevent pests, rotate your crops each season. Avoid planting the same plants in the same spot every year
