"Balcony Gardening for Beginners: Step 2"
Step 2: Getting in Gear
The right tools and containers will help demystify the process and make gardening a joy rather than a chore.
• LECHUZA BALCONERA planters are ideal for placing over railings or tucking into windowsills and other compact areas. The self-watering system means you don’t have to worry about plants drying out during dry spells, whilst removable drainage screws enable you to drain off excess water after rainy spells.
• LECHUZA’s unique mineral growing substrates are heavy enough to anchor your plants into place, whilst also offering good drainage, root aeration and delivery of micronutrients to plant roots.
• Other important gardening tools for container gardening are trowels and forks, strong gloves, sharp scissors, string or plant ties and appropriate fertiliser and feed for established plants. The right size and shape of watering can will help you top up the water reservoir of your planter when the time comes.
