 I am currently researching on sewing growing bags out of [[michka:know-hows:bioproductive_balcony:grocery_bag_containers|unusable grocery bags]]. I ended up sewing one out of a similar plastic fabric found in FoAM's storage space. This bag is now the main growing space on the balcony, and the first radishes planted there are thriving ! I am currently researching on sewing growing bags out of [[michka:know-hows:bioproductive_balcony:grocery_bag_containers|unusable grocery bags]].

 After dramatic death of my first seedlings during a windy day, I started to think about how to protect the plants on the balcony from the wind. I have currently installed a piece of transparent plastic and some glass windows as windshields.
