To successfully garden on balcony, plan well, get the right tools and carefully select plants. Here's what you need to know about creating a balcony garden.
Today was a nice sunny one with temperatures right around 32 degrees F. Looks like they received quite a blanket of snow out East! I heard it will be 36" deep in Boston. While I'm not a big fan of snow removal, I sure wouldn't mind another layer out in the gardens. Of course, that means the discouraging deer tracks will be more conspicuous! I spent the day ordering plants and seeds although we had some nice volunteer help as well. Pat continued to process lights inside and his system is working great for minimizing storage space. Larry H. was out in the formal gardens collecting more lights off of the hedges. Urban came in for some pruning and Bill O. was in later to help with some indoor projects. This blog has an assemblage of vertical wall plantings that I've seen over the years. There are much larger systems on the sides of buildings and that technology continues to improve. However, those systems are usually "soil-less" with plants rooting in to an engineered felt system with plants being nourished by nutrient solutions being flushed down through the plantings. I don't pretend to understand all the technology behind this but check out Patrick Blanc and his work in this regard primarily in Europe. He has a book as well and I'm amazed at the scale and scope of some of these urban systems. The walls seen in this blog, like the one above seen at the Ball Seed Trial Gardens (West Chicago), require soil and plants root directly in to these frameworks or fabric pouches. Above is a Woolly Pocket system although most of the other set-ups were constructed to not only handle well-drained soil (essential) and plants but the combined weight of those elements. The proper construction, anchoring and maintenance of these structures is paramount. See some examples further below.

It was a beautiful day for our annual Home Garden Tour! With temperatures in the mid 80 degrees F, hundreds of tour participants enjoyed seeing the eight garden sites with a wide range of garden styles, features and plants; like the shasta daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum) seen above at the Maciolek garden. A sincere thank you to the six sets of homeowners that shared their gardens for this event as well as those involved with the Craig High School courtyard gardens and the Rock County Community Garden. We also had over 70 volunteers involved with facilitating this event and dozens of musicians that donated their skills and efforts to this vital RBG fundraiser. I always enjoy viewing the gardens and ran in to many volunteers and supporters of RBG. We'll see what the final attendance will be but I'm more pleased with all the positive comments that I heard about the event. Below are just some of the highlights of the successful 2013 RBG Home Garden Tour. These locations are simply in the order that I visited them. I'll try to blog from the Perennial Plant Association National Conference (Vancouver) over the coming week as time (and energy!) allows.

One way to compost indoors without worms is to do bokashi composting. It is a method of fermenting food waste without the loss of nutritional value. As bokashi compost ferments in an anaerobic environment, the foul smell will be significantly reduced. The done compost will have a slight sour smell like that of pickles. Additionally, this method takes around 2-6 weeks to turn food waste into usable soil. Compared to the traditional compost methods, this is relatively much faster. Let's see so
