Before I ever considered moving into an apartment that I read about permaculture apartment. Basically, the small size of the balcony means that people need to be creative in order to produce decent crops of vegetables and fruit. But because the balcony is so small, an automatic system can be created and then refined until the garden is operating at maximum. The design can be simple because there are no weeds to pull, no lawn to mow, no pests to worry about (and if you are high enough anyway) and the balcony can act as a lattice for vertical culture.A well designed permaculture balcony garden can produce more regular and a large garden with a lot less effort....
Compost heaps are a wonderful way to get rid of vegetable kitchen waste, but what about other food scraps? No doubt, even if you are an eco-activist, you put leftover meat, fish, cheese and bones in your refuse bin.
There is an alternative recycling method which uses all kitchen waste called bokashi, a Japanese word meaning “organic fermented matter”. Developed in the 1980s by Professor Terou Higa, it uses effective microbes to decompose the material.
The fermentation process is a cheap and hygienic means of accelerating composting and improving soils.
Bokashi comprises mainly food-grade wheat bran (or another carrier on which the microbes can feed), salt and molasses. This mixture is inoculated with a very small amount of liquid that contains probiotic cultures. No more Stinky Garbage Reduce Greenhouse Gases.
