One type of gardening that many do in apartments or even smaller backyards is container gardening.
You can do this type of gardening regardless if you are limited on space or not.
Each individual plant gets it own container.
The garden can be as small as one plant and as large as you have space for.
Adding another plant is very easy.
One huge advantage of the container garden is that it's easier to deal with pests than in a garden that is attached to the ground.
With mobility comes your advantage.
First, if a plant becomes full of pests, that one can be removed from the rest and treated elsewhere.
For example, if you get an aphid or spider mite problem on one plant, it can be removed so others around it won't become infected.
The others are now more safe.
Treat the plant or get rid of it and put the container back to where it previously was.
Sometimes with organic pest control, the neighboring plants that another is next to makes a difference.
Some plants attract beneficial insects while others repel insects that may cause problems.
With containers you can mix and match positions so that you can be more effectively fighting the current pest you are dealing with.
If you want to get rid of aphids, put a mint plant next to the plant with an aphid problem to attract lady bugs to eat the aphids.
If you ever get a soil based pest, these will only be limited to just the container that it is in.
It will be easy to transplant the pest and get rid of the soil as opposed to hoping that this soil based pest ruins your entire garden.
While it's not a pest control benefit, if the conditions outside aren't good for the plants, they can be moved indoors to help them grow better during a cold snap or a heat wave.
The portability makes this type of garden much easier to defend against weather or pest problems.
When you have a garden, you will have some pest problems.
