Finding a gardener around you to help you start with gardening can sometimes be challenging, and with the inconstant weather, our gardens need a sensitive beginning! Start by checking what needs your attention first. Does the garden require fencing? Or do need to get new pots? Or let it be as basic as buying soil and seeds. These small preparations can majorly impact your home gardening.
Breathing new life into your back or front garden doesn’t usually require a landscape gardener or huge costs. Let me share with you some brilliant DIY ideas to start a home garden.
-
Use old gutter pipes to plant creepers in your garden
Creepers and tap root plants work best when they are planted in long pots. You can use the old long-ceiling gutters you have at home that you no longer require to grow the creepers.
-
Always follow the sun
Misjudging sunlight is a common pitfall when gardening, as a result, the plants present in the garden don’t blossom the way we want them. Pay attention to how sunlight plays through your yard before choosing a spot for your garden. Most edible plants, including many vegetables, herbs, and fruits, need at least 6 hours of sun in order to thrive.

Don’t throw it, Grow it!
The Vegetable seeds and stale pieces that we often get rid of when cooking in the kitchen can be used as 1. Seeds to grow new plants, 2. Use as fertilizers (In the process of growing vegetables peeled potato skin can be used as a great fertilizer)
-
Always measure your plant watering
Create a set timing pattern to water your plants, Even if it’s in the morning or evening or sometimes at both times of the day. Plants do not require extensive watering, Always check if the compost or soil is wet, As plants need moisture to well bloom throughout their life span.
