Gardening is a great hobby for your children and you. It teaches lessons in responsibility, nutrition, and ecology. Plus it’s a good way for you and your children to bond while you watch your yard fill with all kind of plants.
There really is no need to buy fertilizers, when taking a second look around your kitchen you have all you need. Kitchen scraps are a great alternative for synthetic fertilizer. Saving fruit and vegetable peels, eggshells and coffee grounds is a start. With being natural it is also a great money saver.
Starting a garden may seem like a lot of work but really it isn’t as hard as some may think. Choose a sunny part of your yard for your garden, and spread the compost that you gathered from your kitchen leftovers. Top that with a thick layer of black and white newspaper. Damp the paper down and cover with rocks so that insects will be attracted for the later plants. When picking plants for your garden its good to pick plants that suit your yard and your budget. seeds are inexpensive and demonstrate the plants full life, which brings us back to the lessons that gardening can teach us.
After choosing seeds you can remove the news paper and plant the seeds in different parts of he area. Make sure that the plants have room for the roots to grow, water the planted area and watch your plants grow.
