Space problems: balcony greenhouses are the solution

When you do not have a large enough garden or terrace and you do not want to give up the passion for cultivation, you can use the balcony for this purpose. Often the balcony is an absolutely underestimated space and is rarely used to the fullest. Yet it offers the great opportunity to transform the house into the accommodation of a splendid mini greenhouse, which allows anyone to easily grow flowers, seedlings and even medicinal plants to use in the kitchen. The only disadvantage of using the balcony in this sense lies in the fact that if the balcony is very small you risk making it unlivable for other purposes, however the advantages far outweigh this fact.
