FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Are self-watering planters worth it?
On a hot balcony, yes. A reservoir keeps roots moist through a 90-degree day you might miss, and it cuts watering from twice a day to twice a week.
Grow bags over pots?
For tomatoes and peppers, yes. Fabric bags air-prune roots (healthier plants) and drain perfectly, where plastic pots waterlog and rot roots.
What grows on a balcony?
Herbs, lettuce, peppers, bush beans, and dwarf tomatoes. Avoid full-size tomatoes and corn — they need more root room and sun than a balcony gives.
How much sun?
Fruiting veg (tomatoes, peppers) want 6 to 8 hours; leafy greens and herbs manage on 4. Watch your balcony for a day before you plant — sun is non-negotiable for fruit.

Balcony garden and morning yoga share the sun rule — watch the light before you commit. Self-watering planters are the bolster of gardening.
Container garden meets my herb-and-rub shelf — the grow-bags-over-pots point is exactly right for tomatoes. Good kit.
