If you're not blessed with the idyllic quarter acre block and the potential for the earthed planting of your vegetables, there are other options.
Large pots, or in this case a halved old wine barrel, can be used to plant your vegetables. Since they're portable they can be placed in areas that satisfy their sunlight requirements. Pots are ideal for herbs and chillies but can also be used to grow tomatoes, eggplants, capsicums and many other deeper rooted plants.
It's imperative that the pots are deep dished to allow full root growth and that they drain well.
And apart from being a practical solution for those will limited ground space, they can also become a decorative element for your house and garden.
