Get your green fingers working with these gardening tips

Time on your hands? Of course you have, so why not go green and get planting indoors and outdoors?  

words Ferdinand Godinez

Making your living space green is easy when you know how. So where do you start? We speak with Obed Suhail from home service website, ServiceMarket.com for some tips…

Keep it moist

To prevent plants from withering in the heat, ‘deep water’ or soak your garden by making sure that water is properly absorbed by the ground.

Waste not want not

Wastage of water due to evaporation can be reduced by watering early in the morning or late at night.

Choose wisely

Avoid planting too many exotic plants because these require more water and care compared to native varieties.

 

Save it

It takes longer to grow plants from seeds and cuttings, but you can save a lot of money by doing so.

Make it yourself

You can make homemade fertiliser with your garden and kitchen waste. For low-maintenance composting, just leave organic waste like fallen leaves, fruit peels, grass cuttings and vegetables in a container for a few months and use it as fertiliser when it decomposes – it’s free and eco-friendly.
