Balcony gardens don’t have soil, so won’t have weeds, they have fewer pests and, will usually have a great sense of openness – but there are challenges.

Sunny balconies are really sunny, whilst on the shady side of a building there’s no dappled shade or semi-shade – it’s completely sunless. They can also be windy without catching passing rain. And one of the greatest problems is that everything is on view, there’s no hidden corner to put things which aren’t needed right now.
