1: Use of Old drawer cabinets

 

Do you have an old cabinet which you are planning to throw away? We are glad you are reading this because now you might just not want to do that. How about growing your little garden in that cabinet? All you need to do is place it in your balcony, add whatever you would have otherwise in a container and see the magic happening. It will almost feel like the herbs are growing in the woods!

 

2: Colorful little pots

 

This is the traditional one anyway. So all your gardening enthusiasts there , go buy some tiny pots of different colors or just get the plain ones and paint them yourselves.

 

 

 

 

3: Vertical pots

 

Vertical Pots? How does that even happen?

 

Of course, it does! If there are a lot of activities that happen in your balcony spaces here is a pretty cool way of having your lovely garden. Take a strong rope and attach the pots in batches of two or three as manageable and then hang those pots from the wall. Cool yeah?

 

 

 

 

4: Planter Pockets

 

Those long shoe pockets, what do you do with them when they are not that necessary? Plant herbs in them! Well, you don’t have to hang them or get them fixed, simply fill these pockets with the seeds and mud and place it in the direction of the sun. This one is simple and cool and if you have wooden planks against the wall, places a few on them to retain uniformity.
