Sure thing, let’s get our spreadsheet ready! First, we’ll need species that love high nitrate and can thrive on recycled food waste. I’m thinking about Brassica napus (rapeseed), Spinacia oleracea (spinach), and Zea mays (corn) – they’re pretty forgiving. Also, consider Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) for a splash of color and some extra protein. For the balcony, a simple nutrient solution: 1 part fertilizer, 5 parts water, keep the pH around 5.8 to 6.2, and use a small, self‑watering drip system. Don’t forget to keep an eye on the pigeons—if one lands on the tray, I’ll rescue it mid‑talk! Let me know what you think, and we’ll add all the data to my rescue log.

That’s the spirit! I’ll prep a spreadsheet with the species names, optimal pH, and a quick note on each plant’s tolerance to scrap nutrients. For the tomatoes, let’s aim for a 10% higher nitrogen boost—just enough to get that juicy red burst. And yes, if a pigeon lands, I’ll be ready with my “liberation kit” and a friendly hello. The balcony will be a little green paradise, and we’ll keep the artificial plants at bay. Let’s get those pots in line and start the drip!
