*1. Levels*
Planting edible plants under trees and build tree guilds.
*2. Vertical space*
Make use of vertical space and grow plants that grow upwards.
*3. Space inbetween*
Plant light feeders, such as lettuce, in between your other plants.
*4. Container gardening*
Use containers to create additional space, but also to use different sunny and shady places depending on plant needs.
*5. Use space that is not useable*
If you have heavily spreading weeds like Goutweed, you can try to counter them with other space occupying plants like lemonbalm or mint.
*6. Grow diverse and grow more than you needs*
Many problems will solve themselves through nature, especially if you attract animals that help your garden, although some might take a piece of your harvst.
*7. Create habitats*
Try to give animals and insect a space to live, so they stick around your garden.
*8. Collecting Rainwater*
We have quite calcareous tap water, so we try to collect as much rainwater as possible for our plants.
*9. Bokashi*
Besides regular composting, we use bokashi inhouse, to make use of our food scraps and always have some liquid fertilizer at hand.
*10. Mulch*
Use your grass and plant cuttings to keep your soil moist and feed back nutrients.
