The Yummy Balcony
Австралия
Добавлен 12 июн 2018
Hey..... Cherloe here and welcome to The Yummy Balcony
I'm passionate about helping people to grow their own fruit and vegetables in a small space, whether that is on an apartment balcony, a window sill.... or just about anywhere you can keep your plant alive! Who doesn't want fresh, beautiful, nutrient rich home grown food?!
I will be featuring a range of growing solutions from container gardening (in pots and grow bags) to hydroponics, more specifically the Kratky method. I've made plenty of mistakes growing in containers and hydroponics and I would like to share that knowledge with you, so you don't make the same mistakes I did.
I upload every Thursday so come along for the ride. If you have any video ideas, suggestions or questions I would love to hear them in the comments section. And a thumbs up would be appreciated so I can keep making content that you like.
Lets become a little bit more self sufficient together and keep this planet of ours beautiful.

Buying my Tiny Home on Wheels - First stage (framing) complete
Not my usual type of video..... but things have changed (as they do).. and I thought I would film the process of buying and living in a tiny home and help anyone who wants to do the same but is overwhelmed on where to even begin....
I'm not building the home myself but have contracted a company to do so. If you would like me to answer questions about the journey just pop your questions in the comments section.
I'm happy to do a future video on why I chose to go Tiny if you would like that but meanwhile here's a short snap shot of my story:
I was all poised and ready to enter the property market and get a mortgage when suddenly the Rona hit.....I lost my job and that was that.
I had always con...

Why I've been quiet on You tube lately.....
Просмотров 724 года назад
Hi everyone I wanted to do a quick little vid to explain to you guys why I haven't uploaded many videos lately. I care about my 23 subscribers and I felt like I needed to give you guys a heads up on what's been going on. I am aiming to get back to a regular schedule but right now my focus is to find somewhere else to live, declutter and focus on what I need to personally do to move forward. I'm...

I'll be sharing four tips on how to sow seeds in such a way that you can get a lot of productivity from a limited space. The vegetables/herbs featured to...

8 Ways to get rid of Fungus Gnats | Using natural products to kill Fungus Gnats
Просмотров 1164 года назад
Getting rid of Fungus Gnats is imperative as they can get out of control very quickly. But what are they? Fungus Gnats are tiny flies about 3-4mm long and are easily mistaken for fruit flies or mosquitoes. When you water your plants or container garden they will fly up from the soil. You may even open a bag of potting mix and they fly out, there is a certain brand that I will not buy any more s...
Harvesting lettuce with the "cut and come again" method
Просмотров 1044 года назад
This video shows you how to harvest your mixed salad leaves in order to keep harvesting until the plant runs its course. Whilst harvesting is best in the cool of the day (ie: morning), I show a technique to harvest at anytime. Placing fresh cut lettuce leaves in a bowl of ice and water helps the lettuce to plump and crisp up. In the past, I just cut and ate my lettuce resulting in a limp salad....
Small space vegetable garden tour

Growing food in containers, grow bags or hydroponically is easy (ish). Today I'm taking you guys through a tour of my little apartment balcony "farm" where I'll be showcasing my homemade grow bags and the kratky method of growing food. I'm hoping it will inspire you to grow your own vegetables and fruit on your balcony (or a sunny widow sill inside). The goal is to be eating from my small garde...
DIY Home Decor - Painted Plant Covers
Просмотров 1274 года назад
Whether you DIY an Ikea pot, a pot from a second hand store or from (my personal favourite) K Mart, this tutorial will show you how to transform your pot from meh to WOW. I used ceramic pots here, but you could easily DIY terracotta but I would just seal the inside first to make sure the spay paint doesn't leach through as they are very porous pots. Then you could use the same techniques shown....

Alocasia Stingray new leaf time-lapse
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.4 года назад
I was so excited when my Alocasia Stingray popped a new leaf and so I absolutely HAD to film it. This footage was taken over a period of five days
So happy I found this
So glad you posted this! I thought my stingray was developing a new leaf weirdly, but looks like she’s fine :)
What temperature and humidity do you keep your plant? My stingray hasn't pushed a new leaf for ages. :(
I’m so sorry I didn’t reply sooner.... I’ve haven’t been active for ages! I live in a sub tropical climate so it pretty much takes care of that for me, however I’ve noticed over a particularly cold winter for us in sunny Queensland Australia, that it has dropped most of its leaves and has slowed right down. Stingrays are a bit of hard work in terms of making the environment exactly what they want .... hopefully it will perk up with the onset of spring.
So beautifull...
Yeah it’s pretty spesh :)
Wow! I've just noticed a new leaf emerging on my stingray so had to find a sneak peal of what to expect. I'm so excited to watch it :)
Same haha!
It’s so exciting .... this stingray has since had a “baby”. ..... another plant has sprouted next to it!
The Yummy Balcony Awh haha that’s amazing!!!!!
Mel Robbins put a video out about feeling lost at the moment too. Basic message was to keep reminding yourself this is temporary and better things are coming.
