Thanks for sharing, Yasmin. Another option is to use the anaerobic composting to make biogas for cooking, heating, etc. Here is a simple and creative video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDdW5dBNd0E

Great idea, Yasmin!

I am so happy that you enjoyed this article, Corina! I hope that you find the information useful.

Thanks so much, Nikhath. Collectively we can all so simple things that can impact the health of our planet In Sha Alllah.

A wormery or bokashi composting system would be more efficient for such a small yard.

You won’t have success planting things that require lots of sun, like tomatoes and potatoes, but there are things that grow well in shade, like mint, cilantro/coriander, spinach, kale, salad greens like rocket/arugula, mustard/collard greens, chervil, parsley, some types of broccoli, cabbage, beets, carrots, and turnips.

You can always go to a local gardening centre for help finding plants that will do well in your yard. And there are plenty of these plants that actually thrive in colder weather as well.

Thank you for responding Wendy it is actually the direction of the house which stops the sun especially during winters and only a small portion of a wall gets sunshine.I would like to grow strawberries. Will that be possible. the best time to plant the runners in my part of the world is late October. will limited sunshine be a problem if I plant some runners in small beds and mount them on the wall?

Thank you for the feedback, Tabassum. I am happy that you found the article informative.

Thanks for the feedback, Samshath. Yes, we can all do a part in helping with the health of our planet. Have you ever thought about worm composting? It is also know as vermicomposting. You don’t need much to get started and worms (usually red wigglers) do all the work!

Good question, Mahwash! Would the plants be exposed to sunshine if you did vertical gardening? What is blocking the sun? A fence? Trees? Any information is helpful. Maybe we can find a solution In sha Allah.

There’s also the bokashi composting system which uses anaerobic bacteria to “pickle” leftover food and meat in order to compost it.
