Post image for Discount Code for Container Gardeners

Hey guys! Gavin from UZPlanters.com contacted me and shared a discount code that LOTB readers can use to get 10% off any of the containers they sell. Simply type in LOTBPlanters at checkout.

I noticed that they sell many of the products I’ve featured here on Life on the Balcony, such as Woolly Pockets and Lechuza planters.

NOTE: I don’t have any affiliation with UZ Planters and receive no benefit if you decide to order from them.

I sure liked all three quite a lot. But that didn’t stop someone from stealing them. Not to mention my [...]

After three years in law school and a lifetime of contrarian thinking, Mike Lieberman’s post about a building inspector suggesting his balcony garden violated LA City fire code (or possibly building codes) raised the hair on the back of my neck. Something similar happened to me when the woman who manages my condo’s home owners’ [...]
