All that Sharon Olang needed to maintain a steady supply of vegetables for her family was a sizeable chunk of unused space outside her two-storey residential house in Syokimau.

And now, the concrete slabbed space measuring about 6 by 3 metres just outside her house is an appealing sight complete with different types of vegetables. Here, Ms Olang grows spinach, managu, terere, onions and bok choy, a Chinese cabbage that is highly nutritious.
