Nature at home: how to grow mini-gardens and integrate them into the decorations
Have you ever imagined making dinner for the family and take all the spice you need in your own garden, indoors? For this practice has become quite common in homes today. In addition to bringing more convenience when cooking and provide proximity with nature, the mini-garden makes your interior lighter and more beautiful.
The limited space of the apartments is no excuse to stop investing this functional decoration. There are many spices and vegetables that grow well in small spaces. The development of the garden will depend only on its daily care and the location that it will stay. Every plant needs light, and then it is essential that it is in some corner of the house that receives sun, especially in the morning. Ideally, the sun hit the site chosen at least four hours a day.
Parsley, chives, basil and pepper are some most of the spices used in home gardens. The cherry tomatoes, lettuce and cabbage can also be fully grown in a small space and give rapid results.
You can plant the changes you want in plastic flowerpots or in tiny vessels that serve the kitchen decor. The mini-gardens are also a charm if placed in the balcony, for example. They give a nice touch to the natural environment and earn some praise on! Follow a few tips to build your garden into the house and get to work:
- You can use any container for planting, from gardening in pots to PVC pipe halved. Make sure only chosen vessel have holes in the bottom for good drainage of water.
- Buy soil ready, with organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
- Choose vegetables with short roots, such as lettuce, onions and cabbage. And do not plant many different plants in the same pot. Combine those who have similar needs.
- Use fertilizer every 40 days. It may be organic or earthworm humus. Do not remove the fallen leaves, because they also serve as fertilizer.
- Water the mini garden once or twice a day preferably in the early morning and late afternoon. The soil cannot be completely dry. If you live on higher floors, irrigate it more times, because the wind dries out soil more.
Remember, everything can be planted and will survive if you take good care!
