You love gardening
but you are worried about the material you require to nuture your plants? Well,
let me give you some brilliant ideas you can use for keeping your environment
safe and green!
I was once on my
assignment on “safeguarding our environment” and I met a person who owns a
terrace garden. To many who knows what gardening is would love this scene where
a terrace is filled with varieties of plants ranging from vegetable plants to
plants that bear different varieties of flowers. When I looked around the
garden I was asking myself..how could this person manage to buy so many pots
and nurture these plants. Just as I finished this question I heard a voice
saying. “Please have a look at the materials we use as the base for plants.”
(did she read my mind? Was the next question in my head). To my surprise, I
found amazing materials that were used for these plants instead of those that
were to be in the dustbin. Those were materials like an old suitcase that could
not be used for your travel but can be a good base for your plant. Next, I saw
empty water cans that were half slit and placed horizontally to make it a
suitable base. There were other materials like helmets, school bags etc that
were used for a good cause. Once I checked out these surprising things, I saw
another huge stuff that really was an ad on to my surprise. A broken, old bath
tub was used as a base for these plants!! This idea really instilled the
thought that many things that we have in our house and that are useless can be
useful. So all those who are interested in gardening but cannot invest much
please do make use of these simple ideas!! It costs you nothing!
