Gardening tips, techniques and plant information
from: Roger KingSome of the most spectacular gardening is on the rooftops and
patios of the world's largest cities. Today's homeowners and
apartment dwellers do not have to discard gardening. In fact,
they can create their own garden hideaway.
Gardening in small space means you plant in containers, choose
plants carefully, grow up on trellises instead of outdoor, hang
plants from something overhead. Herbs, vegetables, shrubs, and
citrus fruits can all be grown in containers. More and more
vegetable varieties are available specifically for container
growing.
For small-space growing people can grow in everything from
custom-made pottery to clay pots and wooden planters. Your
gardening containers must have drainage holes at the bottom.
Cover the holes with a section of window screen so the soil
doesn't leak out.
Get a bag of dry, soulless mix for container gardening. You need
to soak the soil with water before planting. This process can be
messy, so plan ahead and do it outside if possible. Moisten only
as much as you'll need for the current task.
Keep an eye on your gardening container. It can dry out quickly
in hot weather. If you really get into it, you might want to
consider a drip irrigation system. This is a network of plastic
tubing that can be regulated to provide a constant moisture
supply to your plants.
Most plants need an average of 1 inch of water every week. You
should try to water your garden plants earlier in the day, so
the sun can help dry off any water left on the plant. If you see
a plant drooping, be sure to water it, because some plants wilt
and do not recover if they dry out.
