data-start=\"3715\" data-end=\"3758\">This is perhaps the most human error of all.<\/p><p data-start=\"3760\" data-end=\"3840\">Many people start a small urban garden on their balcony, thinking they&#039;ll have abundant harvests right away.<\/p><p data-start=\"3842\" data-end=\"3869\">But growing on the balcony is a process.<\/p><p data-start=\"3871\" data-end=\"3880\">Requires:<\/p><ul

data-start=\"3928\" data-end=\"3980\">Even those with experience in traditional gardening often make mistakes when switching to potted plants on the balcony, because light, wind, and irrigation work very differently than in a soil-based garden.<\/p><p data-start=\"3982\" data-end=\"4032\">From the second year everything becomes much easier.<\/p><p data-start=\"2619\" data-end=\"2750\">Over time, you learn to quickly understand the signals from plants:<br \/>yellowing leaves, slowed growth, or soil that is too wet.<\/p><p data-start=\"2755\" data-end=\"2853\">And it&#039;s precisely this
