Wow! I just love it. My favorite way of gardening is Kitchen Gardening. You really do not need a lot of space for it. No need to worry about the large or small area to grow your favorite vegetables, herbs, flowers or fruits. Even a small container is fair enough if you are willing to start it. I have previously published my e-book on this topic that is too close to my heart. I am mentioning the link to my book i.e. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077L4NCC6

In my above-said book and from my previous articles, you can find basic techniques and methods to start a kitchen garden at home. My vision is to avoid difficult terms and be simple. Actually, my focus is to bring new ones or beginners towards this interesting and beneficial hobby. I do not like to impose my intellectuality that I am the expert, rather I like to provide an idea and let others choose their own unique style. I am targeting those who are hesitating to start just because they do not have the guidelines and encouragement. Well, here I am to encourage them with all my capabilities.

Backyard, kitchen back door, side passageway, balcony, terrace, walls, rooftop and outer greenbelt are the best places to start a kitchen garden. Once you started it, you can find so many places at your home to expand it. Seasonal vegetables take less space to grow but the yield is unbelievable. With the passage of time, you can learn more and avail your resources to expand this hobby. Apart from interest, the organic plantation can be beneficial if grown at a lager level. Techniques are all same and the difference is just scale, domestic need one or two people to care while large cultivation needs more than two persons and good tools as well.

Organic vegetables and fruits are the need of time. Mostly, we find those vegetables and fruits in daily stores that have been raised with the help of synthetic or chemical fertilizers. Such vegetables and fruits are a threat to health. Many of us are now turning to organic foods as they have all nutrient values and no chemical residue in them. So, this hobby may help to stabilize your economic position.


The kitchen garden is not limited to vegetables and fruits only; you can grow as many plants of your interest at the sides of seasonal vegetables. But you need to be careful in this regard, as seasonal vegetables and fruits attract many bugs and insects. They could also attack other plants. You should prepare organic pesticides that are very effective and economical. These natural pesticides can fight against all types of mites, insects, spiders, and flies. You can find a detailed article in my other book on this topic. Please visit and purchase it for your ready reference. The link is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077L4NCC6.

GARDEN IDEAS - CORNERS AND ROWS

CORNERS

A corner of your house can be fair enough to place some of the adorable plants. There are plenty of styles to opt-in beautifying this corner.
  • Landscaping is one of the best ideas for corners. This can work even at shady corners where sunlight is difficult to reach. Obviously, low maintained plants like succulent and cactus can be placed there.
  • The artificial or synthetic grass is also a brilliant idea to cover the surroundings. It will definitely give a natural feeling.
  •  Hanging or vertical pots can enhance the beauty of your corner garden.
  • Arrange to focus some colorful lights to portray the details.

  • There is difficult to make a fish pond in a corner so you can place a small fish aquarium by the side of your corner garden to add more life.

 ROWS

Normally, we make rows in our lawn or garden where we can plant seasonal and ornamental plants. But you can also spare one foot wide and 2-5 feet long row by the passage of garage or in your backyard to grow vegetables, fruits, and beautiful flowers. There is no limitation of width and length, you can spare as much as you desire or according to the availability of space. Directions are necessary element while planning a row because all plants need adequate sunshine and air to flourish.

These rows are good to grow few kitchen gardens related green vegetable like mint, spinach, fenugreek, celery, lemon, coriander, bell pepper etc. Choose 2-3 of them as all need a big place to grow. Many people do not like to have same all season flower plants. They can grow a variety of seasonal plants that provide the different type of flowers in it. Rows are a good suggestion to small houses as they can replace a lawn or garden.

PRECAUTION

              You are required to strengthen the boundaries to protect your floor from seepage
              A safe layer of cement or marble tile or marble crush with cement can avoid cracks in surroundings of rows.
              Avoid excess watering in these rows.
              Raise the borders with tough tile or bricks around the rows in order to avoid overflow of water and keep them clean. These rows do not give a beautiful look when they are in a raw form. To make it interesting, you can cover them with different color paints or colorful marble crush layering on them.
              If your row is wider in size, you can plan to plant big plants at the backside and seasonal plants at front. Through this, you can satisfy yourself in all seasons with good looks, shades, and effectiveness.
