Yes, I have! My dad's side of family historically have been growing their own food because they live in the southern region. As a child I participated a lot in their gardening and field work. As an adult I live in an urban area but I have been growing cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers and even a zuccini once on my balcony. Not all at the same time of course, but cherry tomatoes I plant every year. I bought a pack of universal soil once and then found plastic bits in it. I decided to mix my own soil from coconut coire, sand, "succulent mix" (it is very poor in nutrients but helps to innoculate my mix), and fermented kitchen waste. I water it with mature aquarium water which is full of phosphates and nitrogen compounds as well as beneficial microorganisms. The biggest challenges I had was an infestation of what looked like Cicadellidae. Unfortunately the sickly looking willow outside harbours them and i cannot do much to protect my balcony.
