Gardening Care Tips

Gardening Care Introduction

admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 04:47:09 +0000

My introduction to gardening care is one of my earliest memories. Although there was a brief period during my early childhood when we lived in the middle of a big city with no space for a garden, we always had a garden and much of the gardening care was up to the children of the family. Since I am second oldest, naturally I had the opportunity to put in many hours in the family garden.

From first grade on, most of our backyard was taken up by garden. I loved the day in spring when the garden was tilled and the rows measured off. It was my delight to help with the planting, but not such a delight to see all the weeds that came up along with the plants. The pesky mosquitoes didn’t help matters any! They made gardening care a chore instead of fun.

As I grew older, I discovered a new way to garden – using raised beds. I devoured many books on gardening and experimented with many different methods, but none has made gardening care easier than using raised beds.

In another post, I may address some of the other gardening methods I’ve tried, but suffice it to say that traditional gardening that requires tilling a large space, only to make paths out of most of it in order to care for the plants, is one of the least efficient and least enjoyable methods I’ve tried.

Raised beds make gardening care much, much easier. The beds can be constructed such that there is no need to ever step into the garden itself, the plants can be grown closer together than you would ever imagine so weeds are minimal, no tilling of soil is necessary and the soil can be customized to the specific needs of the plants to be grown in that particular bed.

My objective with this site is to collect as many helpful gardening care tips as possible to enable you to enjoy your gardening experience to the maximum.
