Are you bored with your city life and you want to sell your apartment and head to the country, buy a ranch, drive a tractor, and all other things are going with it? Majority of the population that is living in the city doesn`t have the possibility to move to the country.
Thankfully, this is not something that should give you headaches. You can have a garden in the city. It is not a ranch; however, it can serve as a substitute for a certain amount of time. We are going to present you with some tips on how to grow plants in the city, right where you are.
Tip Number #1 – You Need to Be More Creative with Space Available to You
It doesn`t matter where you are located, you can find space for growing almost any plants that you decide. Naturally, you can`t grow a tree in the apartment, but you can grow almost anything else. You can use some old, unusable furniture as a space for pots containing plants. By talking to your neighbors, you can have some common space in the building for cultivating vegetables and other types of plants.
Tip Number #2 – Extending the Season
You can`t add more space to your small garden, but you can add some time to the season. The only thing you need to do is to use several techniques that will extend the season, both before and after the regular season. You should use cold frames, cloches, or some kind of compact greenhouse to grow certain plants before or after the season.
Tip Number #3 – Cultivate Only Crops That Have High Value
Naturally, if you have a small space to work with, you should spend it only on a plant that has high-value fruits. This doesn`t only mean that you should grow vegetables that will give you a lot of fruits. It is important to know where you are, and which types of plants are the best choice for that region. That way your garden will be more productive and effective.
Tip Number #4 – Collaborate with Your Neighbors
This is probably the most important tip. There are a few reasons for that, but we will keep it simple. Uniting with your neighbors, you will have more space at your disposal and have the possibility of planting even more plants, and as a result, have more fruits from those plants. We can say that this is one of the most natural ways of collaboration. This is the way that the civilizations were created in the beginning.
