Tips for Gardening in Small Spaces

March 18, 2015 by Kasi Smith Leave a Comment

Not all of us are able to have the big, lush backyard that we’ve always wanted. Sometimes we have to settle with our apartments and small-yarded city home. Don’t let those limitations stop you from cultivating the best garden you can! Here are some great tips for gardening in small spaces.Tips for Gardening in Small Spaces

 

Vertical Gardening

If you can’t spread out then spread up! Get creative and do some vertical gardening to use your walls as effectively as possible!

Window Boxes

This may sound strange at first, but plant some small fruits and vegetables in your window boxes to get the garden you want! Strawberries are a great idea and add a pop of color to your home!

Use Rails

If you have handrails around your patio area, you can still make a garden! Stabilize pots and baskets on the handrails and you can get wonderful plants and flowers easily!

Mobile Planters

If you’re concerned about not having space for any guests that may come then just make or buy mobile planters! They allow you to move the plants when necessary without much of a hassle at all!

Hanging Baskets

This idea is a great way to give your patio or small yard a very classy look. Install hooks on the walls and hang colorful baskets full of whatever you want!

Raised Bed

A raised garden bed will give you space below it to grow more plants! You can also store garden tools and supplies underneath if you want quick access to them.

Good Soil

Because there is limited space, your plants are going to need the best soil possible! Soils with peat moss and pumice are great for retaining water and giving vital nutrients to your greens!

Dwarf Trees

Don’t have space for a tree? No problem! Buy some awesome dwarf trees or plants to get the fruit you want without needing all the space.
