Any ideas on the best container to grow vegetables in on a small scale kwa backyard and where to get it in nairobi

I am sure you meant flower/veg boxes.If that be the case,this are available from many a hardware stores.Roto Tanks Kenya does manufacture them locally.

@Vinii,
Space need not be an issue.I have seen a dude doing Nduma next to his fence.The trick is simple.Dig a trench about 2 feet deep by 2 feet wide along the length of your backyard.Cover the trench with a polytherene paper including the closed ends.Tuck the paper,on the sides in a smaller trench and cover with soil.Fill the trench with good top soil mixed with chicken droppings or manure.Water the trench and introduce Nduma plants spaced at about 18 to 24 inches of one another.Feed the trench continously with kitchen waste water and watch your Ndumas flourish....Six months down the line,go and kiss your grocer good-bye.....hope this helps.

@Danas,
MS buckets don't last....Plastic will do and will last many crops especially if not moved every now and then.

Sorry Danas.....been on the road.Red soil it is but unfortunately,i am not a Nairobian and may not know where to get it in Nairobi.

After a nice harvest of dhania's i decided to plant maize but it is stunted. this photo was taken yesterday, 3 months after planting. Has anyone tried maize in a container and did it grow tall? It is already producing the soft things for fertilization
