why did my balcony garden bed flood after rain? the drainage hole secret

Last week, I was super excited to see my balcony garden thriving. But after a heavy rain, I noticed my tomato plants were looking sad and the soil was soggy. I thought the raised bed on legs would keep everything dry, but I totally missed the drainage hole situation. Turns out, if the holes are too small or get blocked, water just pools up. I grabbed a screwdriver and made a few extra holes, making sure they were spaced out and not right under the legs. I also cleared out some old leaves that were clogging things up. Next rain, my plants were happy and the soil drained perfectly. Now, every time I water or it rains, I peek underneath to check those holes. It’s a tiny fix, but it made my balcony garden so much healthier. #balconygarden #gardeningtips #raisedbeds #urbanfarming #Gardening
