Plant Stand for Balcony GardenersA plant stand with shelves can really add space to your balcony garden. I purchased this stand at a thrift store and I have nine plants on it. I have a small balcony and I'm always looking for ways to maximize my growing space.

Living in an apartment, I've tried community gardens. I am not a great fan of it, because I actually had to commute to the garden, which was time consuming and cost gas, which defeated the purpose for me. I tried other options. I have two balconies, one faces west the other east, so great sun exposure.

Bags of miracle grow vegetable blend. Leave the bags intact and cut small "X" in the top of the bag; plant startings through the "X" and lightly water. By keeping the bag intact, you'll save a lot of clean up work, the bag will retain moisture and the "steam" will help the plants grow. Good Luck!
