Only down sized with this method is you HAVE to water every day. This year I'm going with a hydroponics system, peppers, tomatoes and cukes. Good luck!

We are currently using a hydroponics tower system. It's not a closed system, all towers use coconut core and pearlite as growing media. Has a variable timer that feeds the towers from a nutrient tank. The vertical towers allow many planting spaces in a small footprint. If you wish PM me and I will send you the details about the system we are using.
