Stunger Tries Trough Growing And Attempts Fluxing On His Organic Living Soil Balcony

Yesterday afternoon, (in the style of @InTheShed), I "schlepped" all the soil from the trough that I had lugged upstairs a year ago to now store it outside, the empty trough is sitting on the back lawn. Thankfully, I'd had my hernia repaired 3 mths ago, but still, the laborious schlepping downstairs one handed, it had me thinking that I'm getting a bit old for this, or setting myself up to do it in a few years hence. So currently on writing I am not sure whether to revert to pot/s on a 'new' balcony or go 'rouge' outside. Neither is ideal and yet a shame not to.

I have to think of something. :hmmmm:
 
Can't you just let gravity do the work and dump it over the balcony onto a tarp? Then in the spring set up a double pulley system to haul it back up?

We'd hate for you to lose growing privileges due to dumping some soil on the carpet. :(
 
Yeah! Keep bouncing things around in your head. It'll come to you!
 
By next summer your repair will be completely healed and you'll be stronger than ever because you can lift things again. In the meantime, don't try to schlep it all in one trip. :)
 
That's a tough one....
Maybe go back to pots this year, then try the trough again when the hernia is well healed..?

Or, do something a little different, and try a SIP on the balcony- they're not real heavy till you water them..
then they're heavy enough that they may not blow over out there...

I'm sure you'll figure something out, Stunger...where there's weed, there's a way!👍
