Many people around the world are now turning to gardening as their new hobby or pastime during the home quarantine due to the pandemic. Homeowners get interested in developing their green thumb.
As some experts say that gardening has many health benefits, home gardening can be a positive trend. Specifically, gardening can help you reduce stress and can make you happy.
Across social media, you can see many plant lovers and gardeners sharing their gardening projects at home. If you’re a novice gardener or a homeowner who wants to try new activities in the backyard to bond with your family, it’s not too late to get digging and start planting this quarantine season. Here are some helpful guides you can consider to successfully start your home gardening.
Prepare for Planting
First, you need to figure out what will work for you. Gardening doesn’t only occur outside or in the backyards — plants can also grow indoors. If you want to grow plants outdoors, you need to choose the spot or zone in your house where plants can get what they need — sunlight, water, and good soil. For indoor plants, you can start with a few rows of small containers or potted plants by your kitchen or living room areas.
Get the Essential Tools
With the right gardening tools, you’ll surely grow your gardens. For beginners, you need the basic equipment and tools like gloves that are water-resistant and breathable to keep your hands comfortable. A hand trowel is also an essential tool used for transplanting seedlings and taking out weeds. Watering can or hose is also essential for every gardener. Some gardening tools also include a set of shears and pruning tools, garden fork, rake, spade, hoe, and a wheelbarrow. By having the right and high-quality gardening tools, you can make your home garden beautiful and keep it growing.
Improve Gardening Skills and Strategies
As a first-time gardener, one must realize how much work is involved in gardening. It is a learning process. It requires skills and techniques to successfully grow a garden. To make sure that what you’ve started does not end vain, you need to strive to improve your skills and explore new strategies about gardening. You must spend a considerable amount of time reading about gardening books or blogs, and do your research on ways to improve your garden. You can also ask some fellow gardeners for dos and don’ts to make your home gardening projects easier.
