Antony's Organic Balcony Garden 1

The clocks have gone forward today so it's time to create my organic balcony garden. I've cleared away all of the detritus from winter and ordered organic seeds ... It's not as big as yardsnacker's plot (which I'm hoping is growing well now) but its' the first ain a series of videos I want to make as it grows into something beautiful and largely edible as well.

use window boxes and hangers and put it over the edge, inside AND outside, that will drasticly increase your gardening space that you can enjoy more. put the clematis or vine closer to the building and offer string or a trellis for it, giving you more space for something else in the outer corner. use pots on the floor ( could even make custom wooden ones with old veggie crates and plastic eg) on your two sides-. i simply adore balony gardens and gardening in small places. GOOD LUCK!

@poosaypirate These are all such good ideas. Thank you! You must have a vibrant and beautiful balcony garden :-)

I love the internet. Here I am in Michigan (USA), wanting to grow some vegetables and flowers on my apartment balcony this summer, and getting ideas from a guy in England.

Isn't it amazing? Good luck with your garden. My tomato plants have got as far as showing flowers which I'm thinking will one day be real life tomatoes :-)

Wow. A wormery? I would love to do something like that. Must look into it. I'm a new patio gardener and am looking for ways to organically fertilize my veggies.

It's a little weird because it's on the balcony. I haven't got any compost yet but there's a tap at the bottom where you can pour out liquid (fertilizer?) which is good to mix with water and use for watering plants and veggies etc. Good luck with your patio garden :-)
