Hanging Gardens
Regardless of whether we only have a box withgeraniumsbehind our window, or we own a largecovered balcony , you should follow some rules for placing heavy objects over the heads of your neighbors and passers-by.
Remember that the boxes are seated in solid handles. Also, do not place unsecured pots on window sills or balustrades, because gusty winds can easily knock them down.In addition, it is worth developing a method of watering the plants in such a way that the water does not flood, e.g.window sills belowIf we plan to put pots with large ones on the balconyflowersorshrubs , you need to know its technical condition.
