Gardening Tips

Gardens are fun for people of all ages worldwide. From flowers to fertilizers, from wildlife to weeding, many areas need attention.

“Because a garden means constantly making choices, it offers almost limitless possibilities for surprise and satisfaction.” - Jane Garmey, The Writer in the Garden

Type of Garden

-Choose the type of garden you’d like: vegetable gardens, flowers gardens, organic garden, water garden, combination, etc. For help, travel throughout your local vicinity for ideas. Look through gardening magazines. And check out books at your local library for more ideas. Calculate how much time you will have to put into your gardening efforts plus how much money you will have for your set up and maintenance (seeds, soil supplements, fertilizers, coverings, pots and other containers, etc.) And draw up a budget and blueprints to firm up possible gardening plans before jumping in head on.

Gardening Materials

Building materials – look around your locale for affordable and coordinating building materials for your gardening project. Many times neighbors may have extra bricks or stone they would be happy to unload – even at no cost to you other than hauling the materials to your own place. Check out outlet stores, gardening centers and places like Odd Lots that handle surplus, irregulars, customer returned items and more along these lines, often have super deals on building and other gardening supplies.

Materials to consider include, but are certainly not limited to: borders for your garden, mesh or cheesecloth-type material for weed stopper, wire or fencing to keep large animal wildlife – and people - out, wire cages and stakes for tying up small plants, containers for starting seeds, transplanting starts and doing any container-gardening, seeds, fertilizer, potting soil, birdfeeders, bird houses, hay or straw, watering devices (sprinklers, hoses, spray nozzles, irrigation equipment), work gloves. When in doubt about supplies needed, ask local nurseries and garden supply centers. You can often call around for helpful information.

 
Take charge and pull it all together. And note:

“A garden recreates itself daily; we seldom step in the same garden thrice. God may have created the first garden, but, typical of him, he got bored with trying to keep it up and make it better. Many pursue happiness, gardeners create it. Weeding one part of the garden creates a compost pile in another. Gardens are not inherently meaningful in many ways; but, making a garden and caring for it creates meaningfulness. Don't grow delusions from a playful imagination.” - Michael P. Garofalo, Pulling Onions
