One of the best things about living in a city is that we have less to take care of. We don’t need to grow our own food to survive, and we don’t need to build our own houses. All we need to do is walk outside and marvel at the view. However, if you enjoy gardening or want to start a small farm, then those old habits just might come back. There are some things you can do as a beginner to make your lives easier and help your garden flourish. Here are some tips and tricks for better homes and gardens that anyone can use! The Benefits of Home Decor The thought of a house full of junk never appealed to me, but once I moved into my apartment, it felt like I was living in someone else’s junk. My place looked completely empty, except for my wardrobe, a lamp, and some kitchen implements. I decided to start off with minimalism, in hopes of becoming a minimalist in a hurry. There’s a reason people dream of living in a castle. It’s charming, with a natural aesthetic that looks like a piece of art in and of itself. How to Start a Garden Growing plants can be as simple as buying pots, soil, and planting them in your garden. However, for the beginner gardener, the whole process can be time consuming and a bit of a headache. Depending on the size of your garden, you may need different plants. For example, a two-person family garden might need some annuals and perennials. A bigger garden might need a bit more, like tomatoes and peppers. Whatever the case, start off with a simple plant list of the things you can grow and don’t forget to mention things like how much sun you can expect in different seasons. What You Need When it comes to home and garden projects, a shovel, a trowel, some manure, seeds, and a little land is all you need. This is the shortest list on the planet. There are so many books, podcasts, and online forums to help you. Don’t feel bad about that. You’ll learn what you need, and it’s always better to learn on the ground. You also need a good foundation. Trees, for example, need to be watered regularly and pruned so they don’t overgrow. This process can take years. Land doesn’t have to be worked every single day of the week. An empty hole will still stay empty for years. So, what about some basics, such as compost? There are thousands of seeds available in seed catalogues. So many in fact, that they can become overwhelming. Where To Plant Your Garden Before you make a trip to the garden center or nursery, check to see if your local parks and urban gardens have any established plants and trees for sale. A lot of cities have their own urban gardens where you can plant fruits, vegetables and flowers. If there isn’t an established community garden near you, then growing your own at home is a great idea! If you don’t want to mess with the logistics of a city plot, you can always ask a friend or family member to let you use their yard. The best time to plant a garden is right after a good rain, when the ground is soft. Never plant your garden in the dead of winter. Wait until the ground starts to thaw in the spring. How To Water Your Plants Watering is such an important part of a garden, and yet it’s often overlooked. So many people don’t realize that watering is a two-part process, and most often neglected. You don’t want to water your plants too much because that can make them leggy and sick. And you don’t want to water them too little because that’ll starve your plant and kill it. The key is balancing the two, and knowing when to give each plant the proper amount of water. If you’re not sure how much to water your plants, do some research. There are tons of plant care books available online, and many of them have great water tables and charts to show you exactly what you’re supposed to do. Your plants can be dehydrated to death if you just leave them to dry out. The best way to water a plant is to do a little research.
