You Don't Need a Big Space to Grow a Great Garden!
Ever think that you don't have enough space to have a garden? Well, think again! You can grow delicious fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, and beautiful flowers. Best of all, you can do it in a small space!
Here are some tips for designing and planting your small space garden:
Make sure the location you choose will get plenty of sunlight during the day. There are many plants and vegetables that will do very well without sunlight, but the majority of them need a good couple of hours a day of direct sun. Without this main ingredient, your plants will not blossom and vegetables will not ripen. Keep a nice flow within your garden. For a good transition, you want to keep larger plants and vegetables in the back, smaller low-growing ones in the front. This adds depth to your garden and makes it appear much larger than it really is.
Color scheme is important to keep in mind when planning your garden. For smaller spaces, you may prefer one color scheme. When you add too many elements of color, it can become overwhelming to the eye.
Many of us today don't have the time or the space to grow large gardens. Why not try a smaller more "specific" garden. For example, try a "Salsa" garden. All you'll need are tomatoes, peppers (red and/or green), and onions.
You could also create a small raised bed garden. Raised bed gardening refers to gardens whose surfaces are higher than the surrounding ground, whether they're in the yard or on a patio or deck.
Most raised beds are constructed by building large boxes to hold the garden soil approximately 8 inches higher than the surrounding ground; but, it is also possible – and sometimes quite practical – to simply mound up the soil into rows of raised beds without any additional support at all. If you have a large garden, and you're thinking of converting it to a series of raised beds, the Mantis Planter/Furrower attachment is particularly useful for this.
Some ornamental raised beds may be two or three feet high, depending on their placement in the landscape. And, some raised beds are designed as free-standing boxes that are ideal for decks and patios as well as for folks who can't or don't want to bend over or kneel to tend to their gardens.
What better way to create and maintain your mini garden, than with a mini tiller! The Mantis Tiller is perfect for maneuvering around those small spaces. It's small, powerful, and easy to handle. It's also perfect for creating and maintaining a raised bed garden, for flower gardening, and edging the garden.
Go ahead…make the most of your space!
