Gardening With Space

Restrictions

Lack of space need not be a barrier to being able to enjoy

gardening. Whether you have a small yard which is flagged

over with no soil or growing space or you live in an

apartment you can still develop a few green fingers by

cleverly using the space you do have available even if that’s

all indoors.

You can plan out your space-restricted or indoor garden using small containers to grow your plants

in and get in to vertical gardening. Here’s an overview.

Regardless of space considerations you can still do something. Even a few potted plants out on your

windowsill can look great. There will always be some space you can use to nurture some nice plants

and flowers. If not the windowsill then perhaps the conservatory, a few hanging baskets outside or

larger plants in containers in the yard.

Just because you might not have a traditional garden doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy the pleasure of

growing something nice.

Work out what space you do have and want to devote to your growing exploits and what you can

safely grow in that space. Do a little internet research as to the types of plant or flower which can be

grown in the area you have available and the types of plant pots or containers you will need to bed

them in.

A trip to the local garden centre for expert advice would not hurt and you can pick up what you need

there too. That might include the containers, plant pots and perhaps some planting soil and

compost to help your new limited garden grow.

When you get home you can rearrange the plants as you see fit and what gives the best looking

layout for you. That might be a simple line across the windowsill, larger plants tastefully spread out

over the patio area perhaps planted in wooden half barrels and a few hanging baskets secured from

the outside walls by supports.

Part of the fun here is to plan out what will look the best and make the best use of the available

space. You can easily swap and change things around at any time too.

Maintaining your smaller container plants and vertical garden (as it is known) should not take up too

much effort or time either. A spot of watering – bit not too much – should keep things looking good.

If you are using plastic containers then remember that these will tend to retain more water so do be

careful. The size of the plant pot or container may restrict the growth of the plant or flower so be

aware of that also.

So as you can see, a lack of space need not mean that you cannot have some form of garden to look

after and enjoy the look and smell of fresh flowers or potted plants in and around your home. Why

not start to plan your limited space garden today.

Figure out where you can put plants or flowers practically, research what will be best suited to you

then get out there and make it happen. Gardening really can be for everyone.

I hope you found this article useful. And that you enjoy your small space garden. If you do have the

space for a larger garden you may consider adding a wormery to it. A simple garden wormery can

bring all sorts of benefits such as recycling waste and producing natural, organic compost which you

can use on your garden as an alternative to commercially produced fertiliser.
