Many people have found it easy to get into terrace gardening but quite difficult to sustain. We can either discuss why home gardening leads to disappointment or how it can be made into a successful foray. To make home gardening successful, one should ensure that the output offers variety, quantity, and quality. The targeted objective of home gardening should be to produce at least 15 items comprising vegetables, gourds, greens, spinaches, etc., and in quantities sufficient enough to feed at least two five-member families daily.
To get the above result, one should first recognize that a plant in a pot has to survive, flourish and produce while being confined to a small and limited boundary. Unlike farming on the earth’s surface, terrace gardening plants don’t have access to stored water and nature-generated minerals and nutrients present in the soil. Therefore, terrace gardening compulsorily requires the following: –
- Sustained and consistent efforts almost on a daily basis.
- Regular and continuous delivery of nutrients to the plants.
- A good pollination and pest management system.
To make your terrace gardening/home gardening initiative fail-proof, please ensure that: –
- You have someone to fill in for you when you are unable to find the time to attend to your plants.
- That someone filling in for you is reliable and knowledgeable.
- You have a reliable source for good quality biofertilizers and pesticides at an affordable price.
- People knowledgeable about seasons, pest control, and pollination are available on call.
Just bear in mind that home gardening will fail if you don’t contribute adequate time for soil preparation, nursery management, irrigation, nutrient delivery systems, pruning, and pest control.
