Did you know you could simply buy a bag of soil or potting soil, poke some holes in it and grow potatoes and tomatoes?

You don't even have to buy it. They just leave that stuff all around completely unlocked.

It seems so blatantly obvious but this is a great idea! Thanks :)

Just be careful that you give the bag lots of holes for drainage. Potatoes will rot if they remain water logged. I prefer to grow mine in "potato grow bags" (found on Amazon) as they drain well and can hold a large volume of dirt.

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!
