Creating A Garden From Scratch
Not everyone is fortunate enough to have their own garden but many people wish they had a small piece of land that they can cultivate and grow plants in. Having a garden has many benefits such as being able to grow your own food in it and also being able to partake in gardening which is a great and relaxing hobby. Knowing how to grow plants, especially food, can be a very useful hobby and skill because food is not only extremely expensive in this day and age, it is also laced with dangerous pesticides and chemicals. Buying organic is not an option for many people because the cost of organic food can be up to ten times the cost of food that is not organic and therefore, most young people are forced to buy the food that is traditionally grown with chemicals, pesticides and preservatives.
Find a suitable area
You will need to first allocate a small area in your home such as on a balcony or somewhere near a window for you to create your tiny garden. If you do not have a balcony nor an area close to a window, you might even be able to have a small indoor garden. With an indoor garden, you could either choose to grow indoor plants or you can create a faux garden that will only serve the purpose of beauty. For a decorative faux garden, you will need to buy some synthetic grass and maybe some realistic looking faux plants that you can have in your little indoor garden. This will be a great idea for you if you are someone that works long hours and may not have time to dedicate to taking care of a garden and actual plants which a lot of tender loving need care.
If you are someone who is passionate about recycling and reducing your waste, you could even consider creating your own DIY fake grass out of old plastic bottles and other throw away materials. Of course, if you would like to have an actual garden indoors, you should consider doing some research about plants that can grow indoors without a lot of sunlight. There are many plants that can be grown indoors but it is important that you choose them correctly because many plants will not survive without proper sunlight and water. Another thing to consider is that having lots of plants indoors can potentially be dangerous for your health and therefore, you will need to have only a very few plants indoors if the whole house is sealed at all times such as the case with an air conditioned house.
