plants and seeds can provide everyone with some type of produce
that will thrive vigorously in each of these limited areas of land.

 Of course, the initial project requires a slight investment if
 you are not engaged in flower growing already. The pots, space-
 saving racks and fencing for protection can become a do-it-yourself
 project consisting of discarded metal cans (large or small), plastic
 bottles of all sizes, old buckets, crates, or plastic cartons, which
 are easily converted to planting containers by completely removing
 the tops and cutting small holes in the sides near the bottom for
 drainage. If you prefer fanciness, a large selection of containers
 of every size and color is available at any of the local garden
 suppliers advertised in this booklet.

 For '.mited space, plastic or light earthen containers five to
 eight inches deep are easy to handle and ideal for leafy produce
 such as spinach. Root and vine plants such as yams and tomatoes
 require a much deeper container. These containers should be at
 least twelve inches deep or more. Such plants need deep soil
 for the nutrition required for production.












 The container illustrated provides the air and drainage
needed for healthy plants and better growth. Some of the plants.
seeds and soil can be obtained at the Department of Agriculture
or garden nurseries.

 Soil comes already prepared for planting, or vou can mix
it yourself if you desire. If you are inexperienced in the field of
food growing but have a desire to become involved for economy
or pleasure and feel that you need more information to assure
your success, you have only to contact the Department of Agn-
culture or the College of the Virgin Islands to get the schedule
of the free work shops that are geared to inform and encourage
more food growing at home.

 Mini farming is fun, free and economical. \hy not get
involved and make ends meet, grow what you eat!!
