We live in the modern concrete jungle and a terrace garden might be the best antidote our eyes could ask for. Whether you have a big space or just a nook, keep these things in mind:
Plan before you plant
You have to have a detailed plan before you begin. Make sure the space is strong enough to hold the weight of the garden. If there are any leaks then fix them before you plant as drainage is crucial for a blooming garden. A good place to start would be choosing fibre-rooted plants as tap-rooted ones can grow through the building. Make sure you choose the right soil for the plants. You can try different varieties to get the arrangement you desire.

Let there be light
Adding manure to the soil is a vital step. A lot of people are opting for hydroponics for terrace gardens as it helps you grow plants without using soil. However, make sure the plants get enough sunlight and shade for them to grow.

Upcycling
Do some research beforehand to decide if the plant needs special peat or can be sown directly. It is always a good idea to make use of old wooden boxes or cans. The general ratio is 2 parts soil and 1 part compost, regular watering is important, and keep an eye for weeds or pests. Set aside 30 minutes every day for your plant babies and you are good to go.
