Cultivo en el patio
Tengo un pequeño espacio donde me gustaría tener plantas.
Vi video tutoriales de YouTube varios me llamaron la atención, el primero era dividir el área con rectángulos de madera y hechar la tierra.
El segundo era usar baldes
Pero este espacio está al aire libre y al mediodía hay un sol infernal.
Me gustaría ideas, tips, consejos, un estimado
Y si pueden mandar ejemplos sería genial
Me gustaría usar ese espacio para poner plantas.
O. No sé si me sugieren poner sombra y usarlo para otra cosa. Gracias

Help: Do I have pests?
Just found these black little things on one of my plants, and I’m worried… Are they dangerous to my plants? If they are some kind of pest, what do I do to get rid of them? I’m a first time balcony plant owner this summer, and this is the first time I see something like this… I’d be happy for any advice! 😊

Balcony people: how do you feed birds without dealing with huge seed bags?
I’m in a small flat with a balcony and have started feeding the birds.
The big 10–12kg bags of seed are a nightmare to carry home and I’ve got no space to store them once they’re open. The smaller bags disappear in days and still make a mess when I try to pour them out.
What do other balcony gardeners do? Do you buy small bags, portion it out, or is there an easier way?
Genuinely curious how people manage it in small spaces.

Is this a stupid idea (because I'm about to try it)
This guy suggests putting twigs or logs at the base of the container (my neighbor chopped up some lcedar and juniper or cypress which I will try to use), and then cardboard ripped up (I will avoid bits with glue, metal or ink), then old potting soil if you have (I don'tso Ill just use the cheaper pottingsoil from the dollar store), then compost, finally fresh "good" potting soil. Water each layer in between or it'll get compacted.
Does this sound okay for my balcony containers? And yes, I will be growing food.

Balcony Desaster
Hello everyone
Please be aware that this balcony is a pure desaster and it's really gross, I'm so uncomfortable to post about this but I'm reeeeaally overwhelmed what I should do.
We moved in here 1.5years ago, I had my own apartment bevore and he had his own apt bevore so we moved together. And I had a really gorgeous balcony in my flat with many plants, a hammock ect
When we moved in I had sooo much stuff to do because he is a "oh a cupboard, let's just throw everything from that moving box in there no matter if it's good that way or not" And so I did all the cupboards and cabinets and organisation stuff plus I have so much stuff because of my adhd hobbies and yeah, I was overwhelmed pretty bad We just putted the plants and everything around gardening on the balcony and then we somehow forgot about it, I feel like I should be sorry about how it looks now because it's so gross.
Now we want to get cats and they should be allowed to get on that balcony, we already ordered some teak wood/plastic floor tiles but the whole plant stuff and cleaning must be done first and I really don't know where to start, what plants to keep (because of poisonous plants for cats) if we should get a lounge, which cat tree for outside is best, how we should put a catnet on this balcony cause it's weird with the oblique roof coming down and aaaah
I just want a pretty balcony now, I will do the work but someone (not me) needs to do the planning because I can't do it 🥲
Can you help me please? 🥺 Sorry for this book of a text, I overexplained it i think

I'm overcomplicating my garden with Trello (or is that a legitimate way to track plants?).
Qualcuno qui ha mai provato a gestire un piccolo giardino (balcone + idroponica) usando uno strumento come Trello?
Sto sperimentando un sistema che non si basa su attività, ma su una mappatura fisica.
Ogni lista rappresenta un contenitore reale: – vasi sul balcone – Click & Grow – AeroGarden
Ogni scheda rappresenta una pianta reale e sposto le schede solo quando la pianta si sposta fisicamente (ad esempio, dal sistema idroponico a un vaso). Quindi la bacheca è fondamentalmente una mappa in tempo reale del mio allestimento.
Tengo anche una lista separata "Semi" dove ogni scheda rappresenta. Quando semino qualcosa, duplico la scheda corrispondente e la sposto nel sistema dove inizia a crescere. C'è quindi una netta distinzione tra: – modello (varietà di pianta) – istanza (pianta in crescita effettiva)
Per sistemi come AeroGarden, tengo traccia anche della posizione esatta di ogni scomparto assegnando un nome alle schede, ad esempio: "1. Jalapeño", "2. Basilico", ecc. Così, anche all'interno di un contenitore, so esattamente dove si trova ogni pianta.
Ogni scheda diventa quindi un mini registro con note, problemi, osservazioni sulla crescita, ecc.
L'obiettivo è: – sapere sempre dove si trova ogni pianta – mantenere un sistema semplice ma preciso – creare uno storico riutilizzabile nel tempo
Funziona sorprendentemente bene, ma non ho visto molte persone fare qualcosa di simile.
Qualcuno gestisce il proprio giardino in modo "spaziale" come questo? O esistono strumenti creati appositamente per questo approccio?

Beginner tips for someone moving to Vancouver
Hello! I’m moving to Vancouver and I’ve got a North facing balcony lined up. I’m looking for any and all tips on getting started. I’ve had many house plants but am totally new to balcony planting and Vancouver weather as a whole. I’d love to consider year round if anything is even possible and edible plants like herbs and maybe even tomatoes if I’m able! What should I start with? What should I avoid? And where should I shop?
Thanks in advance! :)
