Gardening in an old overflow water tank?

Phibsboro

Hi,

First time poster in this forum, apologies if this is a regular request.

I live in a two up/two down terraced house in Dublin - no garden either front or back. The back comes out into a communal lane. The most forbidding of circumstances for gardening in a way But for some reason I have recently developed an interest in trying my hand at it. I have an old water tank in the lane that I would love to grow something in.

Are there any resouces for this kind of gardening? Any recommended books? I would especially love to grow something that I could eat.

Thanks,
C

Absolutely you can. Do a search on amazon, there are a few books for container veg growing available ...

Phibsboro, if you live up to your name, you should ring the council about the allotments in decourcey square; i suspect there's an impressive waiting list for them, but it's worth a shot.
