The apartment garden balcony tour where size doesn't matter

[@gardenhighlightsworm]

Loved what you did with your balcony garden especially in such a narrow space. It’s nice seeing another balcony gardener growing things.

[@rayyg786]

Problem with balconies is the weight of Planters with wet soil..especially if you use concrete, very quickly exceed the safe weight Limit of a similar structure

[@amerikanculture4583]

Not really. Most balconies can hold at least 10-15 people. I’m sure at least a ton so a few plants shouldn’t affect the stability of the structure.

[@Kod_omo]

@@amerikanculture4583 that’s not exactly correct. It depends on the size, materials and age of the balcony. But I’m average a balcony is built to hold between 50-100lb per square foot (American here, I don’t know the metrics) With how small her balcony is I would assume a concrete planter full of soil, water, and vegetables could be teetering dangerously on the balcony weight limit

[@jordanxfile]

@@Kod_omo Yeah, it made me nervous too. I have a very similar balcony and I would never put that much weight on it, even though it has a wall on one side (separating my balcony from the next door neighbor's). For a balcony completely exposed on both sides (sticking out), people need to especially watch with the weight of things.

[@da1stamericus]

​@@jordanxfile I agree. I live in a newish (10 years old) high rise building and the weight is about 250kg per m² . Which is about 9 sq², which is more or less the same. I grow on my balcony and I tell people to take weight into consideration.

I love your balcony garden they are beautiful thank you for sharing video.

[@nixm9093]

Finally a tiny balcony I can relate to. I love this idea, thanks for sharing!

[@farmervee_yt]

I love your planters and really love that you made grow bags for it.

[@misschristiner]

Love this! Do you have an updated garden tour?

[@lifewithsu714]

O wow! I have been to Barcelona and I loved it. You did a great job, that's a huge achievement according to your balcony size. Eating fresh from your own is very healthy. I wish I had a balcony too 😊

[@gilachess]

Greetings from Malaysia. This was inspirational. I have a balcony too but only half the size of yours. Keep up the good work.

Aaaah, those Swiss chards are so smooth indeed 🥰, you got me to subscribe with that Chris😁

[@tastylifeplantlady706]

waw..... very nice... Just Love it sooooo much --- beutiful Place

[@gardeningtipswithvicky]

Oh so jealous...cause my balcony has only about 2 hours of sunlight in winter and almost nothing is growing properly...no matter what I sow. And I know that I should grow herbs( but it's not enough for me) and grow lights which I apply only for 2-3 plants and it also not always work...

[@magpie2728]

What a lovely space! You really make the most out of it! How do you deal with the pest? I tried to grow bok choy but then it gots slug, aphids and other pests and I didn't know what to do!

Lovely garden

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing 🥰

No worries! Eating a stir fry vege as we speak from that harvest. Are you growing anything this Spring/Summer?

@@rhawclub2554 I am. I've just started growing microgreens. Wish me luck🥰

[@rhawclub2554]

Let us know how you get on! We’re about to start some ourselves so if you want us to do a video for you let us know 🌱

[@cad0420alice]

Wow! This is amazing! How did you prevent your plants from growing fungus or bacterias when you grow them so densely? My garden got fungus and bacterias so bad this summer even on an open land and less densely than yours…

[@lenaamartin36]

you can mix hydrogen peroxide with water and water the plants with this mixture no more than 2 times a week.

[@jencrull3241]

Very healthy plants

[@irispottery6474]

Nice garden

Her 86m2, can you see her channel about garden balcony.

[@rhawclub2554]

Yeh 86m2 has great content! Her balcony is very inspiring - crazy what you can grow in a small space when you have the right knowledge and tools!

[@deoko1]

🤣🤣🤣 the chard hahaha. I’m starting my tiny balcony garden in Andalusia hopefully it can get as good as yours

[@nicetomeetyou92mu89]

❤❤❤ love your video have a thumbs up. Greeting from Malaysia ❤❤❤

[@katarzynanowak9017]

Is peppermint truly sterile? because all online sources say to propagate with stems but seeds are available in shops

[@RohitSingh-sc4zo]

Why not vertical gardening on the wall? You can have upto 3 times more veggies. 18 ft of length means at least 80 more plants...

[@KayRD]

Love the set up! We are the same height 🤪

[@rhawclub2554]

Shortys unite! Hehe. How’s your growing journey going?

[@KayRD]

@@rhawclub2554 pretty good! We have a small patio behind our townhouse and grow tons of leafy veg, peppers and tomatoes. This is our second year and we just planted so fingers crossed it does well.

[@where.tofindme]

This channel is so damn helpful

[@CCass-jv4fx]

This video was so helpful. Thanks for sharing. :D I'm curious about the measurements of the concrete planters, specifically the height. Not sure what what be the ideal height for root growth. Could you please share? Thanks!

[@rhawclub2554]

So glad it was helpful! So the cube planter is 60cm to a side (approx 2ft) it has a little less depth than that as I built the hidden self-watering system into the base which takes a little room, so it has around 50cm of depth in all. That amount of depth isn’t strictly necessary for most veggies but it works great when growing root veg as there is plenty of room for things like carrots to grow to their full size! The other advantage is that it allows a lot of space to maintain a healthy soil life ecosystem which means the planter can support lots of companion planting 😊

[@CCass-jv4fx]

@@rhawclub2554 Thank you so much for replying. I will take note of that as I’ve been looking at different concrete planters but they all seem to lack height. Might have to get them custom made also. Anyways, looking forward to seeing more of your vids. ☺️

[@erinkendallbraun1459]

@@rhawclub2554 - Thank you. In another video you discuss the benefits of bottom watering + drainage. Are you able to do bottom watering w your concrete containers? What do you do for drainage?

[@erinkendallbraun1459]

@@rhawclub2554 - Also, having now been through a full growing season with the concrete planters, is there anything that you would change or do differently??

[@amandalau1701]

Concrete planter is heavy on the balcony. Do be careful.

[@tasha770ify]

I love your accent although for some reason it sounds a bit British. You seem to be a natural infront of the camera. The landlord is probably concerned about the cement planters due to weight on the balcony.

[@avocado-we3wu]

Can you make more video about balcony gardening

[@rhawclub2554]

We would love too but we’ve had some issues with our landlord here all of a sudden so our growing journey has been put on hold this growing season 😢. Sams an incredible teacher though so if you need help drop us a message and we can help you out! [e-mail]
