The £10 Balcony Experiment That Paid David Back Five Times Over (UK Alloment)

David Hartley had four square metres of south-facing balcony and a list of supermarket receipts that had stopped making sense. In this episode, he runs a controlled experiment across four containers — Gardener's Delight cherry tomatoes, Sweet Genovese basil, a compact All Green Bush courgette, and a dwarf French bean — and the combined harvest value reaches fifty to sixty-two pounds from under ten pounds of seed and input investment. We cover the specific varieties that work in a UK container setting, the wall-positioning technique that extends the tomato season by two to three weeks, the pinching method that turns a fifty-pence basil packet into twenty weeks of continuous harvest, and the watering discipline that makes container courgettes viable rather than frustrating. If you have a balcony, a patio, or any outdoor space you have been underusing — this episode is the evidence that it matters more than you think.
