A Valuable Lesson Learned – Beneficial for All
A Valuable Lesson Learned – Beneficial for All
Since the onset of Covid-19 in 2020, people have realised the importance of being prepared.
The need for preparedness has only grown since then as new variants continue to emerge around the world.
Its more important than ever before to stay vigilant and take precautions against COVID-19 transmission.
Prices of vegetables and herbs have skyrocketed since Covid, and you, the consumer is the victim.
Even more so… When you buy the healthy green stuff at your grocery store, you get a lot more than you bargained for.
First of all, you pay for a lot of plastic and wrapping which is neither good for you or the environment, and second, your veggies are sprayed with toxic remedies to fight diseases and pests.
As a result, many people are now striving for self-sufficiency by growing their own vegetables. Additionally, they seek beauty in their surroundings, and making a balcony garden is an ideal solution.
Not only can balcony gardens produce better crops than those available in stores, but they can also enjoy relaxing evenings on their balcony, surrounded by beautiful flowers.
What if you could save money, be healthier, and help the environment at the same time?
What if you could surround yourself with pretty flowers and greens, even if you have no garden at all?
You can, by creating a balcony garden.
The Ideal Environment for a Balcony Garden
You don’t need much to get started.
Basically, a balcony garden consists of a balcony, containers and pots, and plants.
Your Balcony
Start your garden by taking a fresh look at your balcony.
Which way is it turned? How is the temperature there most of the day? Is there shade or full sun? How windy is it?
Your choice of vegetables will depend on your answers.
Some plants will only grow in full sun while others will want a cooler environment. Some will demand lots of water, especially if your balcony is windy.
What do you have on your balcony right now?
You need to make room for the garden, so start by removing everything you can from it.
The old chair you never used. The barbecue you used twice a year. The flowerpot without flower.
If you can remove everything, your result will get prettier because you can use the free space for your garden without it looking crowded.
Then once you have your garden set up and looking nice, you can put a chair back there so you can fully enjoy your new place.
