“How Amish Grow a Month of Salad Greens on One Tiny Balcony” You don’t need a backyard to eat real salad—you just need one stubborn little balcony. In this video, I’ll show you how to turn a tiny concrete ledge into a month‑long salad machine using Amish‑inspired methods for continuous harvests. You’ll see exactly how to choose containers, mix soil, pick the right “cut‑and‑come‑again” greens, and stagger your sowing so something is always ready to cut while the next round is coming up.
