We have quite a bit of space on the balcony which doesn’t get much use. It gets sun from sunrise until a bit after midday (balcony faces east) and so we figured it could be a good opportunity to grow some veges and fruit.
Inspired by the global bucket guys.
In the end our megapot/box was more expensive for all materials and soil than I was anticipating but on the other hand we have a box that is probably 5-6 times larger than what you get with the global bucket instructions.q
I am hoping that we used the right type of soil – the instructions required that the soil be potting mix that contained dolomite (i think i read that this reduces acidity in the soil and helps with the process of “wicking” (capillary action)).
Let’s see what grows!
Some pics:
I envy those plants with such a great view over Santiago! 😀
But at the same time I feel sorry for them as the air here is pretty bad! Probably turns the rain into acid rain! But yes the view is “espectacularrrrrr”!
