Hope you decide to have a go at this; if you are not able to do it, just keep this in mind , for whenever you have the chance.
The idea is to cultivate an organic garden at home on your balcony. You have to agree that this is a top idea (no pun intended). Regardless of the size and variety of food you want to grow, is always good, from the tof of my head, I can think on the following advantages: good for your health and general well-being of your family (will eat more healthy food free of pesticides); and is also good to the environment, which will receive less chemicals and will have its natural resources (such as soil and water,) exploited in a sustainable manner.
