-====Growing Bags==== 
- 
-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 started direct sowing of a few vegetables on the balcony.

-====Self-Watering Systems==== 
- 
-I also looked for diverse [[http://www.hellocoton.fr/to/dIgI#http://www.comment-economiser.fr/arrosage-automatique-fait-maison.html|self-watering systems designs]]. I tried diverse systems, based on ropes, pieces of fabrics, and plastic bottles, and have not found a very efficient one yet. 
- 
-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. I may move towards a system based on plastic bottles.
