Such a project could be successful even on a small balcony, provided that the plants get plenty of sun and are protected from strong winds. It&#8217;s the kind of project that allows city folk to enjoy some home-grown food, and the kind of project that children would learn a great deal from while enjoying the literal fruits of their own labour.<\/p>\n<p>Berntsen&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/TheKiwiGrower\/featured\">Youtube channel<\/a> is a treasure trove of easy-watching videos centered around plants and gardening. The style of his videos is very relaxed and his mannerisms are calm and cheerful.
