Gardening

In our modern busy life owning even a small garden, taking care of it and spending time there may bring relax and pleasure. But of course, you should do a lot to make the garden itself and to make it attractive and harmonious. The process of creation such a beauty made gardening a popular hobby.

So, before starting a garden you should at first decide where it will be situated – around the house, at the back or in the front. The next step involves testing the soil in order to identify what plants and what trees are better to grow on it. Judging on the results of the test you can also find out what fertilizer you may use in future. It is very important because improper fertilization may lead to the death of the plants.

Then the bed should be prepared. If the soil is not so good the upper layers are usually removed and the good soil is added. And if the soil is ok, you may put down wet sheets of paper directly on the ground and cover them with 4-6 inches of a rich soil. Don’t worry about the paper – it will soon decompose.

The next step is one of the most favorable among gardeners who decide what plants will be in their gardens. As we know, tastes differ, that’s why somebody likes the idea of a spacious lawn with several bushes, and the others are fond of flowers, big trees or vegetables. Anyway, you should choose plants which you like.

Next step is planting. If you wish to have a green lawn in your garden, you may need the help of seed-spreader which can do the work quickly and thoroughly. But if you are going to admire flowers, bushes and trees in your garden, you should plat them by hands. This is a very pleasant process, by the way.

The next and the last step is maintaining your garden – watering, weed controlling, lawn mowing, fertilizing. This long but exciting process makes gardening a pleasant hobby.
