MY PHILOSOPHY ON BUILDING A GARDEN

in #gardening7 years ago

It's more than just a place to grow food, it's a place to be.


Many of you have probably seen some of my efforts so far on building a garden. If so, you may have noticed that this isn't just a 20 X 30 section of soil with a fence around it. Sure, I've had ones like that before, but this time, I'm building something more.

A PLACE TO BE - MY GARDEN PHILOSOPHY VLOG

In this video, I explain that the garden is more of a homestead feature rather than just a place to grow food. It's a place for a lot more than just plants, and I intend to build it that way. Many animals also live in the garden, plus, my family and friends will spend time there too.

Whether it is gardening after dark like last night or gardening in the rain like today, the garden can be an enjoyable place around the clock. I love the interaction with my food before I get to eat it too, and that requires time in the garden as well.

I'm building a garden that will hopefully last for years to come, and it's taking a lot of work and effort. With winding paths and beds going different directions, it's also a place to slow down, relax, and wander. I can't wait to see it green up and the season continues. Hope you enjoyed the video!

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Have you tried hydrophonics or aquaphonics @papa-pepper? It is a planting method wherein you dont need to have soil or a very huge area to plant your vege. You can do this even in roof tops or a very small area. But the production of this system is 30% more than the regular method. Please search it in google or youtube for more info.

Oh yeah, those are both on my to do list. Thanks!

wow, that will be nice. This is I always wanted to do since I dont have enough area to plant my vege.

I was about to say, my philosophy in building a garden is aquaponics, but you beat me to it eliza ;)

That sounds about right!

nice view park.possible make graet pic again

i am very enjoy proof. i like dragon fruits.
my suggestion for dragon fruit. it can already be trimmed and given NPK type of blue color fertilizer. special fruit. in order to quickly bear fruit. keep the roots do not directly touch the ground. because it will bear fruit long. place on the location of the sun directly.
I wait for his photo when it bears fruit

Your garden and homestead is amazing!! Ryguy came up and asked 'Is that the guy that gave us the plum trees?' We're having fun planting them, thanks a bunch!

This garden is going to be a wow at the end.
This is so good @papa-pepper.
I have been following your post for a very long time now and everyday I get to enjoy it and learn new things.
This is a great one and a good job well done!

Excellent! I am very pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it!

Thank you sir!

Well done @papa-pepper, i believed the garden is going to be a beautiful one when it goes all green and also a fun place to be in with family and friends even when the rain comes. I definitely longed to see it completion.

Much love!

Me too. It should be growing for years to come! Thank you!

You can also help mother nature too :)

I love your trestle!! (or however you spell that haha). Our garden growing up was great, my dad found a moose pelvis and used it for the scarecrow head- it was so crazy and cool looking . I never realized how artistic my father was until I was out in the world with regular people lol. Your kids are going to have great memories of working with you on all these projects, I feel very blessed to have dug in the dirt with my dad as a kid <3

Wow, using a moose pelvis to scare birds? Sounds fun! LOL! Thanks @kilbride!

Your garden is perfection and I love your philosophy on the topic. I cannot wait for the day when we all grow our own food~better days upon us

Those would be some better days!

very nice set up on your garden @papa-pepper

wish to have that big space to make my garden too..but most of our soil here is acidic..but some of my plants still survive.. :)

Yup, just gotta grow what you can! Thanks @bien!
