Picking The Ideal Location
For Your Garden
As you decide about the garden you wish for, there are several other factors you would need to decide as you get working with the gardening tools.
Most importantly you would need to decide on its location. The location criterion is often decided by many factors. It depends on how one would water it or how much shade is needed, etc.
A few of the questions could be very vital in deciding if your garden would live or die. Hence, they should not be taken lightly. You must take each one in special consideration.
Deciding about the location of the garden in one’s yard is an important thing to decide. One must choose a location which would provide ideal climatic conditions for all the plants in the garden. Everything would depend on the type of garden a person is dealing with and hence there is no standard or specific advice.
Hence, when you Google search about the plant you are dealing with you will find plethora of sites telling you about the right conditions for its growth. After this, it is only a matter of checking the most shaded and the sunniest spot within your yard.
A deciding factor asks about how one may plan with regards watering one’s garden. If one has a sprinkler system readily installed for the grass, then it might be a better idea to put the garden in midst of the yard.
Then it would even get watered all at one time and would need no extra toil from your part. However, if this does not provide the right location for the garden, then one might end up watering it with a hose or by dragging a sprinkler there.
In such cases, just ensure that your garden is within an ideal distance for any water hose to reach. This might not show up as a good thing for basing the overall location of the garden on; however, you would be surprised and happy about having it planned out in advance.
Bringing in the right amount of shade into your garden could be a challenging task. As you get a basic idea about where you need your garden, you may perhaps want to keep watching it and record the number of hours it would spend in sunlight and the number of hours it would spend in shade. You may compare the findings to some online web sites.
You must then be able to determine if the spot chosen is ideal for planting and consequently starting your garden. The amount would indeed change just like how the seasons change.
This should give a good idea about what one can basically expect for the remaining year. If required, later you could put up some sort of shade to protect the garden from getting heavy sunlight.
After having determined some ideal place for the garden and if it has apt amount of sunlight, and if you would be able to conveniently have it watered, you are a step closer to factually starting a garden of your own.
Of course, several other factors exist which are often overlooked here.
Most of all, however, you must be able to check if the location chosen is good based on your common sense. One may simply think, “If I was to plant, would anything flourish here?”
Honestly if your answer is yes, then you may think it is the time for heading out to the local gardening store and buying the required soil and fertilizer for getting started! It would be a fun activity!
