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!

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

Thanks, I was hoping to have time to make a planter box this weekend. Perfect timing!

I love the design!! What do you plan to plant in it? Definitely share a pic of it when you're done :)

If the first works well, then I have two more pallets I'd like to use, too. I picked up this book a couple of months ago and want to try it out.

If all goes well then I'd like to source pallets and make them for people without gardens, but that'll depend on how well it works and how easy it is to find free pallets.

Ooo I might have to check that book out. I like your idea of sharing planters with others too. Maybe I could leave one in a rental lobby for a neighbour :P
