11 MUST-HAVE ITEMS FOR BALCONY GARDENING

When it comes to the essentials, balcony gardening isn’t drastically different from any other type of gardening.

That said, you might need to prioritize certain things due to space or opt for more compact versions.

No matter whether you’re starting a veg or herb garden, want to grow some flowers, or aren’t yet sure what type of garden you want, this story is for you.

Gardening Tools

At the most basic level, a gardening toolkit should contain: -Gloves -Trowel -Fork -Pruning shears

Planters

Planters are another universal and essential component of a balcony garden. After all, it’s unlikely that you’ve got actual ground to work with, so all your plants will need to go in pots.
