\"How<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With rising food costs, I will provide you with gardening tips for big and small indoor spaces. First, I want you to answer the question: "Is it worth it?". There are three main factors to help you: it saves your money, provides you with fresh greens & vegetables with no chemicals, and becomes a new hobby to relieve your stress.<\/p>\n

Now that we decided to create a garden – where to start? 
\nLet's choose a plant you want to grow. First, most fruiting plants need at least 6 hours of sunshine. If you can't provide that – choose greens and herbs or add some grow light to your garden.
\nPlants need oxygen, nutrients, and soil for water. Potting mix circulates oxygen & water and helps to keep your plant healthy. You can also place a humidifier next to the garden, as a fine mist helps plants to grow. <\/p>\n

Remember the weight. If you created a garden station, make sure that your shelves will handle containers, as the water doubles the weight.<\/p>\n

What to garden?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Herbs:<\/strong> mint, parsley, basil, and much more. A little tip: be ready to replace your herbs if you harvest often.<\/p>\n

Greens:<\/strong> spinach and lettuce are fast-growing. Remember to water them a lot!<\/p>\n

Veggies:<\/strong> tomatoes and chili peppers grow well in pots. The larger pot you have – the bigger plant is and requires plenty of sunlight.<\/p>\n

Trees:<\/strong> lemon tree. Note: you need to put some protection under the pot, as it likes to leave a sticky sap.<\/p>\n

Fruits:<\/strong> say yes to strawberries! Additional light and moisture are needed.<\/p>\n

There are 4 basics of garden care at home:<\/strong><\/div>\n

    \n
  1. Water. <\/strong>Poke your soil an inch or two below the surface to see if it's dry. It needs to be moist. Remember: each plant needs a different amount of water. You can google it or check on the seeds package. 
    \n\t <\/li>\n
  2. Food. <\/strong>Yes, plants need feeding. The easiest method is to add a special fertilizer with water. All the mixes should be scheduled according to the individual growing requirements of each plant. 
    \n\t <\/li>\n
  3. Cure.<\/strong> Plants can get a disease. Inspect them on a regular basis for pests or discolouring. If you notice something – take the plant away from healthy ones and try to cure it with sunlight, water, or a special mix. 
    \n\t <\/li>\n
  4. Harvest.<\/strong> Know the time – check when it's the best time for your plants to be harvested. Sometimes, it promotes producing even more food for you. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \nFrequently Asked Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Is it expensive to have a home garden?<\/strong>
    \nNo. You can buy pots and soil in your closest dollar store. <\/p>\n

    Is it time-consuming?<\/strong>
    \nNo. All you need to do is water your plants and check them occasionally or you can buy plant watering globes at Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire, or Home Depot.<\/p>\n

    Is it allowed in a rental home?<\/strong>
    \nIf you keep your apartment clean – yes, but I would still recommend checking with your landlord before you start.<\/p>\n
