Looking At Gardening Supplies For Inside And Outside Use
by Bill McNeil
Whether to be used inside or outside, or in nurseries and greenhouses, many of the gardening supplies chosen by gardeners will be for similar tasks. Among these tasks might be feeding the plants, fertilizing them, controlling pests and diseases, and giving them proper lighting. Many other items lend themselves easily to in and outdoor applications, as well.
One of the first items of interest might be soils of different kinds. Starting seeds will require a type of medium that is not strong in fertilizer at this time. Small seeds just need to get their little roots started in a friendly environment. "Growing on" will come later. For some seeds, even sand or perlite can be a starting medium.
Of course, the choice of seeds is important as well. The big grower will most likely purchase seed in bulk, meaning by the pound, whereas the back yard gardener might find the small seed packets sufficient for their needs. What a person grows will be determined by their likes and dislikes, or by what their customers may desire.
The right pot or container for starting these seeds could be individual pots for the home gardener or in larger flats for the nurseryman. Flats are comprised of numerous small sections or no sections at all, depending upon the type of seed grown.
No matter how big or small the grower, the plants being grown will still have the same requirements, as far as lighting and moisture go. Grow lights placed just inches above the soil will provide the proper amount of light and can be lifted gradually as the plant gets higher. The object is to keep the light near enough to the plants so that they will remain stocky and bushy, not long-legged and spindly.
Keeping soil moist is often an issue with growers. Many plants do not care to be watered from the top and must be able to suck up that water from the bottom. Careful watch is required of the gardener so that the soil does not dry out. When plants are more mature, watering from above will not create such problems. Some plants still do not appreciate their leaves being wet, though, so take care.
Other gardening supplies that are helpful, if not always necessary, are such things as tomato cages, vining supports and composters. Tomatoes may do best when not spreading out on the ground. Cages that keep their growth upright is helpful. Vine plants, both flower and vegetable, like supports of one kind or another to keep their climbing habit in control. Compost bins, barrels or boxes could aid in keeping the garden cleaned up of debris and returned to the soil in the form of compost later.
