Gardening Tips: Some precautions are necessary while gardening, this keeps the plants healthy and the person taking care of them does not face any problem. These are some basic things which every person who is fond of gardening should know.
Vaishali. Nowadays the interest in gardening is increasing rapidly. People are enjoying the greenery by decorating plants on their rooftop, balcony or even in a small courtyard. But while taking care of the plants, it is important to take some important precautions, so that the plants remain healthy and you also remain safe. To understand the intricacies of gardening, we reached Chanakya Colony, Hajipur, where Nitish Kumar, the director of Aman Nursery, shared important information about this with Local 18.
He told that first of all the soil and fertilizer should be right. Always use clean and nutritious soil in gardening and keep adding organic fertilizer to the soil from time to time, but remember to wear gloves while adding fertilizer. Many times there is a fear of infection from raw manure or bad soil.
Take care of water also
Another important aspect is irrigation and water management, because it is considered right to water the plants only as per their need. Excessive watering can cause the roots to rot and the risk of mosquitoes also increases. It is considered good to water in the morning or evening, because at this time water easily reaches the plants.
Now if we talk about safety, make a habit of wearing gloves, mask and closed shoes while gardening, because many plants have thorns and there is a possibility of allergy from some plants. Clean the cut areas immediately and apply antiseptic if necessary.
take care of yourself too
It is also important to take care of sunlight and heat, because many plants cannot tolerate direct strong sunlight, hence keep such plants in light shade. While working, protect yourself from sunlight and keep drinking enough water. Finally, use pesticides with great care. Try to control pests only through organic methods. Cover eyes and nose when spraying chemicals and keep children and pets away.
By taking timely care, right information and a little caution, you can make the greenery of your home even more beautiful and safe. In the end, Nitish told that gardening is not just a hobby but also a beautiful way to connect with nature. So keep gardening. It also relaxes you mentally.
