Debunking the Myths of Gardening

The recent past has seen significant development worldwide. Spaces are shrinking day after day, and people are getting busier managing the fast-paced lifestyle. However, the dream to nurture greens does not die an easy death. If you love the greens, want to create a warm green space in the house, and bring home some flowers and shrubs, you can do it. You can plant your green babies in large concrete planters instead of the ground. In fact, even if you have ample space to create an herb garden, plant shrubs, etc., you can still use concrete planters to line up the driveway, add elegance to the patio space, or line up the garden.

Myths and Truth of Gardening

So, if you are tempted to bring home some greenery in the available space but are skeptical about the countless myths you have heard, here’s motivating you to plant greens by debunking the popular myths of creating a garden.

·         You can grow plants only if you have a backyard: This is far from the truth. You can grow plants in any space in the house where ample light is available to keep plants happy and alive. Another important thing is that you should be willing to commit some time for the plants. Plants need care in the form of fertilizers, watering, checking for pests, and keeping a check on soil health. With all this together, creating green spaces is not overwhelming.

·         Plants need to be watered everyday: Despite having a keen love for the green friends, caring for them can be overwhelming in this fast-paced world. Well, it is a myth that plants need to be watered every day. Plants need moisture, not water. Keeping the plants moist without over watering them is essential. Over watering can drain essential nutrients from the soil. If the plants dry out in the sun, a good idea is mulching the top of the soil to trap moisture in. So, too little water can keep the plant thirsty while over watering can play havoc with the plant and soil health.

·         Herb garden is not possible where light cannot reach:Most home owners dream of having an herb garden, but fail to do so in the absence of sufficient natural lights. Some herbs can grow in less light too. So, do your homework on herbs before creating a garden. 

·         Creating a garden and maintaining it is a big investment:This is not true. Unlike popular misconception, multiple tools are not required to create and maintain a garden. A water shower to water the plants, a planter that can drain water and a clean pair of scissors are enough to maintain your home garden. The most important thing is healthy soil. A planter with healthy soil coupled with love and care can nourish the green babies you plant and promote their rapid and healthy growth.

Now that you know how you can bring home greens, no matter the size of your home or outdoor space, it is time to look out for planters that add to the style and ambience of your space.
