Ep 128. Things I Would Do Differently With a Rental House Garden

Have you ever held off on starting a garden because you were in a rental or temporary living space? In this episode, I’m sharing all the things I wish I had known back when we were in military housing—before we settled into what we think is our forever home. If you're renting or just feeling unsure about investing in a garden you might not have for long, this episode is for you. From containers that are worth the splurge to mistakes I wouldn’t make again, I’m walking you through how to garden smarter (not harder) when space and time are limited. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why I regret building an in-ground raised bed at a rental house What I’d use instead (hello, galvanized beds + elevated planters!) My love for grow bags and how they make gardening so flexible Thoughts on GreenStalks—are they worth it, and when? What to grow when you can’t grow everything: my "feel rich" picks Why learning in a rental garden actually helped me long term How to support your food storage goals even if you can’t grow much Links & Resources: 🌿 Join The Homestead Challenge Community on Facebook 🎧 Check out the Garden Party Podcast – May 21st episode 🛍️ Shop My Amazon Storefront for Garden Containers Mentioned Let’s Connect:Tag me on Instagram @brittanylgibson if you’re gardening in a rental or small space—I’d love to cheer you on and see what you’re growing!
