Hanging garden

Space is one of the most common constraints an urban gardener faces… Solutions are easy to prescribe but a tad difficult to implement. However, one of the simplest solutions is baskets.

While you can not completely do away with pots, hanging baskets do have their own pros:

• Ease of display: They are better visible from outside a balcony
• Doesn’t occupy the precious square foot of an apartment balcony
• Lighter to lift and rearrange
• Planting and replanting are easier: You just need to dig out few palm-fulls rather than a 16” pot.
• Better suited to plants with smaller roots:
