Small gardens– These gardens can be set up in the cottages or familiarizes, or in the way from the door of the street to the entrance door. A path full of green in which we can place infinity of pots of a thousand colors or a host of plants of great green content.
If our space is even smaller, we can choose a vertical garden with elements as delicious as the stairs, large or small. Thanks to them we can place a large number of pots in a small space, thus creating our particular urban garden.
Actually the stairs in the decoration are a very used resource, and not only outdoors. We have already talked many times about the benefits of ladders to decorate different spaces.

Gardens in small spaces
Windows with pots. When space is limited you can use any corner, such as windows. The pots that are placed in the windows are ideal for planting herbs such as oregano, basil, chives and rosemary.
Herbs and vegetables need six to eight hours of light per day and land, so if you do not have land to plant in, you will need to acquire pots or planters and light soil so that the water drains well. This type of crops also need a lot of water, so at the time of planting them you must take into account the irrigation, either by placing them near a hose or acquiring a shower.
Varieties to cultivate
When choosing the varieties we want, we must choose the ones that take the least place. For example, if we are going to plant tomatoes we will choose cherry tomatoes and small varieties or ‘dwarfs’. In Total Home we have already seen how to plant tomatoes in pots, so I recommend that you read that post to be able to be informed in detail about the subject.
