Gardening is a fun job. Rather than seeing an empty backyard, it will be nice to see some plants or even trees there. Taking care of flowers, fruits or even medicine plants can make your spare time valuable. You can go viticulture, which means that you can stack your plants up. Not only you minimum the land that usually required, but you can also get maximum result. On a conventional farming, a square meter can only grow 5 plants, by this stacking pattern; you can grow up to 5 plants in every stack. You can make rack from wood, board or even bamboo. You can build from iron or stainless steel, but the cost to build it would be a little bit higher. The stack can be built in many shapes, commonly rectangle, triangle, or staircase. The most important thing is you should built it strongly and moveable. Just put some pot on the rack, but you don't have to buy it. You can find many items from your storage, such as paint can, oil can, or even plastic bottle that you can turn into flower pot. Nowadays, poly bag or black plastic bag can even substitute a pot.
In building the rack, you need to pay attention to the height. Plants maintenance would be easier if the rack was build a little higher above ground. This would be an advantage if there is a water puddle underneath it, or if you want to put the rack on ceramics or marble tiles. You can even show it to your neighbors by putting the rack in front of your house or just outside your window.
Viticulture is very suitable for growing vegetables, cooking spices, and you can grab it if you need for cooking. You can grow celery, spinach, lettuce, basil, bay leaf, tomato, chili, or even eggplant.
Need fertilizer? Just make your own compost. Vegetables slices, fruits skin, or even left over from food which is organic. The making of compost is easy, just put it in the ground and leave it there for at least one month. Then you can use it for your new plant. Just add sand, dirt and the compost. The balance measurement is 1:1:1.
In fact, National Trust carries out a survey that says that if you are a gardener, you will feel better. So, why not try gardening today? You will eat better, because your ingredient is fresh.
