I am in Perth, Western Australia which is one of the Mediterranean climate zones in the world.
We have no "soil" just a courtyard and planter boxes on our front balcony but I grow a range of edibles in containers
Many herbs - rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, parsley etc,
Strawberries,
Lemon grass,
Chillies,
Many citrus including quite a few native Australians,
Pomegranites,
Banana,
Blueberries,
Potatoes and sweet potato,
Eggplant and few others.
- programjoe 9y agoYou mentioned not having soil, are you using store bought fertilizer or something else? Do you need to deal with adding any chemicals to grow things?
- airbreather 9y agoI use potting mix from the hardware store. Because it is hot and dry I have to over water, this leaches out nutrients so I have to feed quite regularly, slow release pellets and fish emulsion with a bit of worm juice. Additionally for the citrus have to add iron chelates because the leaves get yellow from deficiency otherwise.
