My buddy in Chicago tried to install a small herb garden on his balcony last year. He didn't seal the planters right, and water leaked down to the neighbor below. The landlord freaked out over the repair costs, just like @ben_fisher mentioned. Now my friend has to pay for the drywall fix and lost his security deposit. Makes you wonder if roof gardens are worth the hassle for renters. What do you guys think about balcony gardens instead?

But is it that big a deal to need podcasts? I just throw on music and keep it simple. Turning a jog into an audio book club seems like overcomplicating things.
