Gardening Tips: Boost your Micro Farm Today

Gardening to pass the time when you are off work is a great way to relax while being productive. It’s hard work with a Zen feeling like no other. Whether you are the creative type or love math, making your own garden is a fun way to do both. Measuring, building, and taking care of your garden is a part-time job that requires dedication, but is worth the effort.

Here are some tips on how you can garden on a budget and get the most out of your yard.

Start a simple compost pile.

Starting is the easiest part! Just grab some leaves and put them in a pile at the farthest corner of the yard away from everything else.
Add grass mower clippings evenly over the leaves in the compost pile each time you mow the lawn for nitrogen, then add more leaves, cardboard, and other carbon-based materials in a new layer. Repeat.
Blend your leftovers before you dump them evenly over your compost pile. Then add lawnmower clippings and leaves.

Build a sturdy compact enclosure that’s small, but efficient.

Use solid metal stakes to make your fence. This will be sturdy enough to survive windstorms, deer, and other destruction to your garden. Protect it above the soil as well as below to keep out rabbits and other pests. Make sure it is in an area that gets a lot of sun all day long.

Automate your watering system.

A simple sprinkler set and a timer is all you need to automate your water each day. Pay attention to the upcoming weather as well so you can adjust accordingly.

Whether you are gardening with friends or alone, it’s a great way to spend time with nature and appreciate life. It helps fight against stress and depression, leaving you feeling happier and more fulfilled. This is especially true when growing, eating, and enjoying your own fresh grown produce. Gardening vegetables also help save money on overpriced grocery bills!
