Small Spaces: A few tips for Urban Gardening

Urban gardening can be a fun and rewarding hobby, but it can also be intimidating if you're not sure where to start. If you're new to gardening or you're short on space, here are a few easy tips to get you started on your urban gardening journey:

Start small: 

Don't try to take on too much at once ( I am still working on that, btw). Begin with a few small pots or containers and choose easy-to-grow plants such as herbs, lettuce, or cherry tomatoes.

Choose the right plants: 

Not all plants are well-suited to life in a pot. Look for plants that are compact and have smaller root systems, such as dwarf citrus trees or succulents.

Use the right soil:

 It's important to use a soil mix that is specifically formulated for container gardening. This will help ensure that your plants have the nutrients and drainage they need to thrive.

Water wisely:

 Overwatering is one of the most common mistakes made by new gardeners. Be sure to check the moisture level of the soil before watering and only water when the soil is dry to the touch.

Get creative:

 Don't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to finding space for your garden. Consider using vertical space, such as wall planters or hanging baskets, or look for unconventional containers such as old buckets or wheelbarrows.

With a little planning and some basic know-how, you can easily turn your urban space into a thriving garden.

Happy gardening!
