They look attractive, don't get blown away in the wind and you can purchase them in small bags to suit your balconys small needs. As far as composting goes I'm just about to invest in a worm farm. It will use my balcony and kitchen green waste and provide me with nutritious worm juice for my plants.dearindirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12219428356342681950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630779053316348486.post-88853021192480642302011-12-29T03:49:56.134+11:002011-12-29T03:49:56.134+11:00Hi Indira, congratulations on a fantastic blog and...Hi Indira, congratulations on a fantastic blog and new book. You definitely had me inspired when I first came across your blog a few months ago. Since then, my little edible balcony has had its moments. The kids have enjoyed the small harvest of tomatoes and beans although I was rather disappointed. I have since moved some of the fruit-bearing plants to a much sunnier part hoping for a bigger yield over the next few months. This time, it will be west facing. Not ideal but will have to do for now. I'm totally gobsmacked about the size of your tomato plants! May I ask what size pots are they growing in?

Most purchased mulch just seems too large for pots.<br /><br />Also, do you have any good ideas about composting for apartment living.<br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />regards<br />AnitraAnitra Morganahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680207901604409083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630779053316348486.post-2611755982992643482011-12-04T11:45:15.881+11:002011-12-04T11:45:15.881+11:00Love your garden!
