Dreaming of a clean, green space? Try these simple-to-use organic gardening tips that won't hamper your busy schedule nor would it require a bigger space.
Start your gardening journey with containers: pots, bags, plastic bags, etc. Plants growing in these well-defined containers and kept on balconies or windowsills can instil a sense of greenery into your life.
Because urban life means space constraints, it's good to choose varieties like cherry tomatoes, microgreens, or bush beans to start your gardening journey.
Vertical gardening is a very useful way to not only save space but also make the house look beautiful. One can use wall planters or hanging baskets and grow beautiful herbs vertically.
Through everyday materials like eggshells, kitchen scraps, etc., one can easily make compost inside their homes. These are also known to be nutrient rich.
To make the soil nutrient rich, organic potting mix with compost is a must. This can help the plants have a rich and powerful root, that is essential for longevity.
Remember water is crucial for a plant's survival. But it can also die if too much water is used. So a balance between the two is important.
Face it. Gardening means dealing with pests. But it is crucial to stay away from chemical pesticides, as these can be harmful. Choose natural options, like neem oil spray, etc.
Yes, gardening is an intensive activity. But because of your busy schedule, even if you dedicate at least 20 minutes everyday to watering or pruning the plants, your garden will thrive without any stress.
