Start with the essentials
Observe sunlight and wind before choosing plants. Herbs and vegetables have different needs. Check the building’s rules and keep heavy containers and stored water within safe loading limits. A garden can be enjoyable even when it does not reduce the grocery bill.
What you can do
- Start with a few locally suitable plants and containers with drainage.
- Keep pots secure and prevent water dripping onto neighbours or public areas.
- Inspect leaves regularly and follow safety directions for any treatment.
Keep in mind
Do not place pots where they can fall or block exits. Avoid using untreated household wastewater on edible plants.
