Shit like lettuce, pot, and numerous other plants. I do a hell of a lot of gardening and then wife is a landscaper. Hell even our veggie garden is not done in conventional space and water wasting rows.
Nice

I built a planter box for my balcony last year, maybe you can give me some tips for it too. I want to grow some vegetables and herbs this year in it.

It's 6 feet long, and 2 feet wide, 2 feet deep. I built it on legs, so it's aligned with the edge of my balcony.

It's lined with plastic, and has holes in the bottom for drainage, and a water catcher so it catches the overflow.

I intend to use "square foot gardening" for it, so it will give me 12 1 foot blocks to grow in. Depending on what plants I put in there, I'll space them out accordingly to use their 1 foot of space and not overcrowd their neighbours. Certain little plants can do 16 per 1 sqft, and others have to have a whole foot to themselves.

If it works out, I can build 2 more of these on my balcony and have 36 feet of growing space. ;)

One question I have is what month do you generally start your stuff indoors, to be ready for planting outdoors when the time is right? I always miss my window!

<-- pothead. ;)
