Balcony Gardening
Welcome to c/BalconyGardening @ slrpnk.net!
A young community dedicated to balcony gardening.
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 think you're onto something. Soil is so damn expensive and I thought about digging it up from the woods but I don't want to risk disturbing any natural ecosystems. But we all know mega corps ain't natural C:
A friend of mine has a Costco membership, I'll see if they can grab me a cheap thing of Miracle Gro. I'm not too concerning about tuning to each plant, I just want to keep them alive until winter XD thank you!!
(Someone else suggested putting a bucket out for rain... I think I can turn my growing milk jug collection into rain catchers by cutting the tops off and pour them out into a larger container for storage. Though I am a little worried about weight limits... not sure how you figure that out)
FWIW, state parks (ie. nature, not playground) often allow transplanting of native plants by locals and are more likely than any corpo fucknuts to not use budget-rate maintenance solutions that'd taint your soil/medium sample (and fuck up your balcony lovelies' roots, etc.), so check your home turf for those rules/laws, and happy scrounging! 🤩
