I live in a flat with a compact balcony. How can I grow plants?

You can create an attractive balcony by using pots and troughs – have a look at my new Poundland range. As well as flowering plants, try vegetables and herbs. You’ll need to regularly water and feed them, though – slow-release feed is easy and it’s worth adding moisture retention crystals (both £1, Poundland) to your compost.
