Having your own garden doesn’t only contribute to the beauty of your home but it also gives you the chance to breathe fresh air. A small garden is enough for you to maintain in your home. The choices of plants you want to have depends on your preference but orchids are pretty much alluring to the eyes. Don’t forget that a tree should still be present in your garden.
If all plants and trees are in order, maintaining them is very important. Therefore, they need proper caring. First of all, the type of soil you used should be healthy to help the plants grow fast and strong. A spade helps preserve the quality of the soil by turning the soil at least once a month. If you are using clay soil, it’s best that you top it with organic compost.
Having garden tools such as rake, spade, mowers and wheelbarrows are also helpful in the maintenance of your garden. They are very useful especially when you are doing your morning rituals with plants like watering them early in the morning to help avoid dehydration and for them to moist.
When you see weeds sprouting, immediately remove them because they steal the nutrients that your plants are enjoying making your plants unhealthy and dying. For your garden to also be away from slugs, pouring beer on your soil will definitely eradicate these slugs.
Don’t forget the spray you will need to each and every plant you have. Pests are your number enemies so you need to be totally prepared in case they attack your garden. Studying each of your plants is also an effective way to maintain the garden. Asking for professional advice in maintaining a garden is very important, too, especially if it’s your first time to have your own mini garden.
