Many plants have overwintered (clematis, bleeding heart, tarragon).<br \/>\nThe containers are filled with soil. There are no holes in the bottom but the water can run through (no plastic sheeting). The user does not change the soil each year, but he adds compost.<br \/>\nThe user can slide his knees under the containers if he takes his feet off the footrests, though he usually works from the side.<br \/>\nThe height of the containers and the quantity of soil is determined based on knee height and appropriate working height.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nThe user previously had ordinary balcony containers. They did not work very well because they held too little soil. The user looked for larger appropriate containers in stores but did not find anything appropriate.<br \/>\nThe user came into contact with a carpenter through a good friend, designer Lena Bengtsson, from Bolln\u00e4s. The user drew a diagram with measurements to show what he wanted. Now he is very satisfied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tilv\"><strong>Made by<\/strong><br \/>\nA carpenter<\/p>\n<p class=\"Bekostad\"><strong>Paid for by<\/strong><br \/>\nThe user<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/446_14_balkong2_600.jpg\" alt=\"Raised balcony garden containers with space for knees under\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Balcony garden containers with space for knees under<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/446_14_balkong3_600.jpg\" alt=\"User by balcony garden containers\" width=\"600\" height=\"464\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">User by balcony garden containers<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/446_14_balkong4_600.jpg\" alt=\"Open balcony door\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Open balcony door<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Convenient balcony garden adapted to wheelchair users<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":49823,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[397,59,367,350],"tags":[469],"class_list":["post-2446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-about-balcony-97","category-all-tips-about-caring-for-household-objects-9","category-tips-about-garden-67","category-tips-about-taking-care-of-plants-indoors-and-outdoors-50","tag-authors_v4","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/446_14_balkong1a_600.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2446"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":254201,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2446\/revisions\/254201"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
