In an effort to bring my family back to a more inexpensive means of organic produce I would be interested in starting a windowsill/stoop garden as I don't have the space to have a full garden. Has anybody tried this? Can you share details as to how you went about doing so?

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
That's certainly an easy way of going about things!
If you are finding that seeds are eaten then either cover the area with a fine mesh, or once things start growing if you think slugs are the problem, smear lots of Vaseline around the rim of the pot (a good 5 cm or so) and it seems to stop them climbing up. Just remember to redo it if there is a lot of rain.
You'll also find that the earth in pots needs to be replaced every year or fertilizer of some sort added to replace the nutrients that previous plants have taken.

That makes sense...I wasn't sure how often that dirt had been used.
If our grass doesn't start growing, I will definitely take the advice! Thanks!
