18 Handy Items to Boost Your Venture into Plant Parenthood
Starting a garden or becoming a plant parent in India can be a rewarding experience with the right tools and supplies. Here's a guide to help you get started:
## Essential Tools
1. **Hand Trowel**: A small handheld shovel ideal for digging holes for planting and transplanting seedlings. It's great for scooping soil or fertilizer without disturbing nearby roots. 2. **Garden Gloves**: Protect your hands from thorns, splinters, bugs, and dirt. Gloves also improve grip on tools, especially when handles are wet. 3. **Pruning Shears**: Useful for trimming and pruning plants to maintain their shape and promote healthy growth. 4. **Watering Can**: Essential for watering plants without washing away soil or damaging leaves. 5. **Hand Fork**: A versatile tool for turning over soil, loosening compact areas, and mixing in fertilizers.
## Basic Supplies
1. **Soil Mix**: Loamy soil is ideal for vegetable gardens. Consider mixing garden soil with coco peat, vermicompost, neem cake, lime chuna, and ash for optimal growth. 2. **Mulch**: Use materials like cocoa shells, bark, dried sugarcane bagasse, or shredded leaves to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil fertility. 3. **Seeds and Plants**: Choose from a wide variety of seeds and plants available online in India, such as those from Nurserylive.
## Additional Tips
- **Soil Sterilization**: Sun-dry the soil for 2 days to eliminate pathogens. - **Tool Kits**: Consider a 3-in-1 tool kit with a hand cultivator, hand fork, and small hand trowel for convenience. - **Online Resources**: Utilize platforms like Nurserylive for gardening accessories, advice, and community support.
