Balcony Gardening
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!

Don't "sterilize" anything. There will be many resilient microorganisms surviving which are just waiting to take over anything when they have the chance to.
You should add some beneficial microorganisms, often sold as mycorrhizae, and take a look at living soil. A few worms or critters here and there are also great!
Soil should regulate itself, but you can give it a small headstart.
Regularly add some compost or dead plant parts, symbiotic plants, and so on.
If you don't like dirt, as I see it a bit in your "keeping everything clean" mentality, maybe come over to [email protected].
I tried hydro this season, and I was so amazed that most of my stuff next year will be grown hydroponically!
