Gardening

I love gardening. I love fresh herbs and vegetables. The green view is refreshing and destressing. Watching the plants grow give me a kind of satisfaction.

However,gardening in a terrace house and limited space is sure a challenging activity. Especially when you just feel like growing every plants around your house. I need to consider what plant to grow and their number, and how much space they will take along their lifetime. This depends on some factors such as the purpose of growing them, the maintenance, types of plants and the amount of water and sun they need, the airflow and humidity. 

I also have to plan prior to growing to ensure the optimum use of space in the garden, so that many plants can be grown in a small area. To obtain that, we can use different types of planters such as hanging planter, trellis, upside down planter, planter tower and many more. The usage of recycled container also may not only save space but also save your budget. 

Gardening is not a difficult hobby. However, to build your garden beautifully is quite challenging. It requires careful planning, and regular maintenance. And also some knowledge. Types of soil, the soil mix, the soil pH, fertilizers, compost and composting, plants variations, and plant enemies and diseases are examples of some knowledge that a gardener should have, or search for. Learning about gardening may also save money. For example, if you know how to compost your kitchen and garden residues you may save money on buying fertilizer and potting soil. And your plants may also be happy and healthy.

Gardening is a profitable hobby and activity if it is done in a right way. However, to grow plants, we should not be afraid to start growing and start over if failure happen. Sometimes, it feels like we are doing a research on a certain types of plant. It also feels like getting to know something new and like communicating with it via learning and try and error. 

Happy Gardening.
