Welcome to c/BalconyGardening @ slrpnk.net!

A young community dedicated to balcony gardening.


About

Show off that vertical veggie garden 35 stories high. Or that bucket of potatoes you're proud of. Perhaps some fall mums that have been catching your eye through the sliding door into your living room. Any and all balcony gardens are welcome! Come and show your's off because we love to see it. :)

We also welcome ideas, tips, and items which have helped you in your balcony gardening journey. No balcony? Feel free to join in with your container garden with limited space too!

When it comes to plastics, the saying goes: 4, 5, 1, 2, all the rest are bad for you.

However, #1 (PET) is not ideal since it's often thin and intended for single use (think plastic water bottles) . Hence, it breaks down quicker and may pose a risk of leaching.

Consider re-using these for your gardens.
#4 - LDPE
#5 - PP
#2 - HDPE

Somebody please help me save this plant. This is a crêpe myrtle. It is a couple months old. It was doing really well and then one day it looked very sad. I dug it up and the roots look really good. I was worried because I had a lemon tree die of root rot. The tree is under grow lights if that gives any more information.

Morning glory in a bucket on a balcony. It’s watered automatically by a solar powered gizmo I made too.

Just be sure to check if your pallet has been treated with any harmful chemicals if you intend to grow an edible garden.
