Essentials Tips to start Gardening!

People in cities are now gaining their interest in growing their food and also increasing greenery around them! Terrace gardening is found to be the aptest solution for all those who are finding space as a constraint to grow vegetables.



If you still haven’t started Vegetable gardening, here are few tips to keep in mind while beginning your new journey!



Decide in which space of your home gardening is to be done: As sunlight is an important factor to grow vegetables, select a place where you get a good amount of sunlight (more than 4 hours of direct sunlight)!
Choose Containers wisely: Container size decides good growth and in return the yield! Shallow rooted plants like leafy greens prefer 6’ depth, fruit vegetables (Tomato, chilli, capsicum etc) require 12’ depth and creeper vegetables grow well in container size of 18 inches. Any durable containers with equal width with good drainage conditions can be used for growing vegetables
  Potting Soil: In container gardening media plays a very vital role! Since there will be limited sources for the plant to grow in container gardening, the media used must be rich in organic matter.
 Only red soil in the pots is also not recommended as the soil gets hardened and drained off of all nutrients quickly making the roots difficult to breathe and grow. Ideal potting media must have the combinations of Red soil (For root support), Cocopeat (For water holding and aeration) and compost (To add organic matter/ nutrients to plants). You can also add browns to enhance the organic matter in the media!

Once your place, soil, and the container is ready start sowing your favourite veggies! If you are a beginner start with easy growing vegetables like Palak, Radish, mints!

4.Start small: It is always to start small, easy and then starts expanding your garden to fill up all your space! This gives you confidence, you can learn from the mistakes and grow and become a full-fledged Proud Urban farmer!

5.Take care of Plant and Soil Health: It is important to take care of the potting soil for a good harvest in the garden! Regular application of nutrients like compost (once in a fortnight, based on the plant growth) and pest control medicines are very much needed to maintain both plant and soil health. 

Do not worry if you are failing, after all, Gardening is all about experimenting with your plants!



Happy Gardening to you all!
