More closeness to nature! This is even possible in the middle of the city and on the 6th floor – as shown by Birgit Schattling's lush organic snack balcony. This green oasis attracts numerous birds, busy bees, other beneficial insects, and even cute squirrels, proving that any biologically managed area – even just a few square meters – can become a habitat and contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. In this guide, Birgit Schattling demonstrates how easy it is for anyone to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and a variety of flowering plants on their balcony, which types and varieties are particularly well-suited for cultivation in pots and boxes, and how to fertilize organically and promote plant health with herbal brews even on a balcony. Nature benefits from the organic balcony, and for the balcony gardener, there is not only a delicious harvest but also plenty of relaxation and balance through the close experience of nature!.
