Another obsession I’ve picked up recently is gardening. And since we don’t have a garden per-se, we’re using our balcony as the gardening playground. In the photos, you can see the making of a self-watering container for our balcony, which will allow us to leave for the weekend (or for 2 weeks) without worrying too much about our lettuce and herbs.

Ingredients and tools used: 2 long plastic pots, 2 empty cans of beer, one pair of old boxer shorts, one 0.5L plastic bottle, one throw-away plastic pot, knife, candle. Oh, and then soil, home-made compost, and seeds, of course.
