Welcome to c/BalconyGardening @ slrpnk.net!

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!

I just harvested the compost box on my balcony, the little helpers are very happy:

I started it 4 years ago and use the humus for a little balcony chaos:

You can build one for yourself or buy the kit on the internet.

Either way, it's fun playing in dirt, even for a grown person. You should try!

Gorgeous setup!

Can you tell me more about the first picture?

That looks like the top part of the compost bin. Is that some filling to keep it warm? Or something else?

That's just a gimmick so you can sit on it. I bought the box from wurmkiste.at, they sell it with the cushion or plain. It gets very dirty over time so it's not really worth the extra money.
