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!

MODERATORS
 

Hello friends!

One of our admins, @poVoq, has set up a wiki in his spare time for slrpnk.net. For the time being, editing is limited to moderators-only. However, @poVoq has also created an EtherPad that we can use to work together on it!

I went ahead and started a /c/BalconyGardening wiki but we need your ideas, knowledge, and experience to make it a helpful addition to the community. So, I am proposing that we use an Etherpad with the name BalconyWiki to collaborate on additions and improvements to the wiki. I'd ask that you please add your Lemmy username at the top-right of etherpad when editing to keep it accountable. :)

Any and all suggestions are welcome, as long as they fit within the BalconyGardening theme. I would love it if we could set up a starting guide for those who want to set up their first balcony garden!

Here are some ideas of sections we can develop:

  • Getting Started - for those new to balcony gardening
  • No Balcony? No Problem! - other ways community members can garden
  • Common Issues - and solutions!
  • Recommended Crops - to offset food costs, to resist pests, for high-yield to share with others, etc.
  • DIY/Upcycled Solutions - such as re-using plastic waste for planters

I hope you're all enjoying your day and I can't wait to hear your ideas!
