Leafumi is an independent editorial site about balcony and small-space gardening, written for gardeners working on balconies, patios and other small outdoor spaces. The site is built around buying guides and explanatory articles; they are published only once they pass editorial checks, so the first set is still being prepared.
A balcony is a set of constraints before it is a garden: permission, load, sun angles, wind, drainage and the route you carry water along. We start there, then look at what a container or support system is actually specified to hold, and we are careful not to turn an empty-pot dimension into a claim about filled weight or structural capacity.
We cover four areas: Balcony Planters, Vertical Gardening, Container Growing and Watering & Garden Tools. Each one exists because the questions inside it are different — a planter that suits a windy balcony is not the same purchase as one for a sheltered courtyard, and the checks we describe follow from that.
How we work
Every guide is built from information a manufacturer or retailer publishes: specifications, manuals, support documents, care instructions and warranty terms. When we write that something was checked, that is what we mean. We do not claim to have physically tested, owned or measured a product unless a guide says so explicitly, and we do not publish invented test results, ratings or expert credentials.
Prices, stock and product details are set by the retailer and change without notice. The price at checkout is the one that applies.
How the site is funded
Leafumi takes part in the Amazon Associates programme. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Some links are affiliate links, and if you buy through one the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commission rates do not decide which products a guide covers, and no brand pays for a place in a guide or for a favourable conclusion.
Who writes it
Guides on Leafumi are written and reviewed under the Leafumi Editorial Team byline. We do not publish invented author names, biographies or qualifications, and we do not attribute work to a person who did not do it.
Corrections
If you find a factual error, we correct the guide itself and record that the change was made. We would rather fix a page than defend it.
