Why is gardening important?
Gardening has a positive effect on the ambience of your home. Plants have a unique ability to cool down the air and make the surroundings more pleasant. They will also form a natural protective cover for the dust and pollution around. For some, gardening is also a stress-buster and as you see new leaves sprout and your plants flourishing by the week, you will realise what a wonderful feeling that is!
What kind of soil is best for growing plants in containers?
The soil from your yard does not always have the proper nutrients to nurture a plant. If you use only that soil, chances are that the plant will wither away soon. You don’t want that to happen and so, the best environment for your plant is one that has a good proportion of soil mix and compost (vermicompost is a great way to start and we have included that in the kit)
