Today I had an overwhelming desire to start a container garden on my balcony. I love the idea of being able to grow and use fresh herbs and vegetables. My plan is to find some wine boxes and attach wire to them so I can hang the boxes from the posts on the fence of my balcony. I have also been looking into hanging tomato and strawberry plants. The Instructables blog had a few ideas on how to make some, but Target sells them in a box ready to go. I want to make everything organic though, so I will probably have to go the DIY route. I purchased a compost pail, but I am not sure if I am brave enough to compost in an apartment. My balcony is long and narrow so saving space is important. I am excited to see how this urban gardening goes. I will post updates as soon as they are ready.
