I have about 30 50 liter cloth (geotextil) pots that I have been using for a garden on a terrace in the middle of the city and this was my attempt at watermelons.

    No idea why the photo is reversed, it is fine on my phone, but I guess lemmy is still young 🤷‍♂️

      Really cool urban gardening success here! Those look huge. I bet the neighbors are jealous

      With the image reverse I have found that uploading it in a smaller size fixes that. Does the app let you choose “actual size” or smaller?

      Pretty much every day. The sun is strong during the summer and temperatures are regularly 30-33-35C for weeks. The cloth pots loose a lot of water daily, even with a thick layer of mulch. They are convenient though as they are easy to move and stack during the winter.

        Awesome! Clearly your practices worked out! Makes me wish I had a balcony like yours so I could try to follow in your footsteps.
