Welcome to,

Home gardening
can encompass a variety of different gardening
styles, ranging from simple indoor gardening, to
hydroponics gardening,
to anything else that you can
think of.

For a
lot of people however, home gardening means
the ability to grow your own fresh fruits
and vegetables, the ability to control what
pesticides enter your domain, and most of
all just how fresh your food will be when
you take it to the table.
It’s undeniable really just how tasty a
freshly picked tomato will taste, or peas
fresh out of the pod. And the fragrance you
get from a handful of newly plucked berries,
or freshly cut rosemary. This then is what
the home gardener lives for.

the home gardener lives for.
But is this really all that home gardening
can accomplish? Shouldn’t there be more to
it than the growing of vegetables and
fruits? Those were my thoughts at one time
when I came upon the concept of home
gardening. There is a lot more to home
gardening than initially meets the eye
however.
Fruits and vegetables aside, you have your
flowering plants, your leafy plants, and
even your shade giving trees. All of these
need to be placed within the design of you
garden in such a way that you get the most
of them. Next, if you liked you could always
design an irrigation system worthy of a
bigger garden, or you could keep it simple
and just spray the hose when you need to.
Bugs are an ever growing problem, sorry for
the pun, and need to be watched for
vigilantly. And especially in a vegetable or
fruit garden, you will have to be extra
careful of such cute, and cuddly creatures
as rabbits, and other burrowing animals.
Rodents are always a problem, and need to
dealt with immediately so as not pass on any
disease.
Soil needs to be fresh, and aerated so as
not to become compacted, thus hindering root
growth. Worms and other like insects need to
be welcomed into the overall scheme of your
home gardening project.
Water drainage, soil erosion, landscape
maintenance, tools and equipment, the
gallons of lemonade you’ll be consuming in
your quest to make perfect your home
gardening project. The list is nigh on
endless, and I could go on forever, just
suffice it to say that home gardening isn’t
as cut and dried as it may seem.
And last but not least, you will need to
make it a place that you feel welcome in,
and that your visitors can feel welcome in.
A place that invites you to explore all the
nooks and crannies to see exactly what it is
you’ve done with the place. And that’s what
home gardening should be all about.
