Indoor gardening has grown more popular than ever since the dawn of the pandemic, with many homeowners trying out this new hobby and filling their homes with countless plants. However, many homeowners hesitate to take the leap into the edible side of gardening—growing herbs, fruits and veggies from scratch. If you dream of eating foods that you’ve cultivated from start to finish, read on for our ultimate guide to urban farming. We promise it’s not as hard as it seems!
What is urban farming?
A foolproof way to start learning about something new is to set the record straight and iron out some definitions. So, what exactly is urban farming? According to Wesley Oxenham, the Co-founder of Farmcity, urban farming refers to “growing plants, both edible and ornamental, within towns and cities.”
It doesn’t matter which method you use to grow your herbs, fruits and veggies. “Some use aquaponics, others may use hydroponics with grow lights and others simply do soil-based cultivation in pots and planters.” As long as you’re growing and harvesting in an urban setting, you’re doing urban farming!
