I have pretty much fallen in love with coconut coir as a growing media and at the end of the season you can either add it to your compost (if you have one) or simply shake the roots out, store it over the winter and re-use it next year although I absolutely recommend sterilizing it in the oven first.....a little messy but worth the laugh if someone wants to know what you're cooking. Actually, I don't have a 100% decision yet I'm thinking of taking an upgraded version of this system and launching it at Canada Blooms in March - Cross your fingers for me! Hi Gary,

Thanks for the article. I might have missed it but did you say what you used as a growing media (Do you think you will be replacing it every couple of years?) and what you watered with? Do you get salt buildup in your pots? Gary Westlake I put a reference to your balcony apparatus on our website
