Don’s Tips: Balconies

Balconies

Gardens on balconies can brighten up your world and they can also produce lots of food as well. 

But you need to know how to do it. Most balconies are hot, windy areas where plants rapidly dry out. So try to avoid small pots – because they dry out rapidly and the plants become sick. Use pots of 500mm diameter or larger on balconies.

Why not buy or grow an espaliered citrus tree? These are citrus clipped to latticework. You end up with a fruit tree that uses up only 10cm of space since it ‘s flat against the lattice.

Hooroo!
