"At-Home" Types of Gardens
Construction Tips for New Home Gardens
Botanical gardens display mature plants that are unique to the geographical area the garden is in, and they also display plants that are rare and are unique to areas in other parts of the world. When deciding to purchase plants or plant seeds, measure the plants mature size with the spacing available in the garden’s layout plan. Botanical gardens usually feature several different types of gardens. Other garden types include, aquatic gardens with and without fish, tea gardens, cacti gardens, ivy gardens, orchid gardens, and begonias gardens.Landscape gardens can take the appearance of the natural features from different geographical areas in the world. For example, in warm climates the landscaping can include topical features with tropical flowers and vegetation. The landscaping and construction appearance can use native materials, flowers, and plants to customize a structured garden layout plan.
Zen gardens add garden stones and pebbles along with native plants and vegetation to provide a meditating atmospheric outdoor space. Plant materials include moss, native trees, spruces, manicured lawns, colorful flowers, and tall shade trees. Trees allow for partial sunlight and some trees have full shade levels during the day. Some Zen gardens have fences to highlight certain plants and flowers, and some Zen gardens have full sunlight with trees only on one side of the garden. Native trees and plants are used to help design the character of the landscaping plans.
Xeriscape gardens use water conservation techniques. The techniques depend on the climate conditions of the area and how much expected water is needed for the types of plants in the garden. Water conservation includes using drought-tolerant plants and drought-tolerant lawn types, and includes methods that don’t lose water through run-off patterns and heavy rainfall.
Scenic gardens have many features to enhance the landscaping in many types of gardens. Features include dry creek beds, trellises, fragrant flowers or un-fragrant flowers, ponds, waterfalls, running creeks or fountains. Measure each plants height and width against native plants and native structures to add a scenic garden appearance. Garden plants can be vegetable crops, edible flowers, and un-edible flowers and shrubs planted in separate locations.
Vegetable gardens are planted on the sunniest side of a structure. Plant edible flowers and vegetables based on the amount of spacing and the amount of sunlight available to each plant. Vegetable gardens can be on the front, back or side of a structure. Can plant edible flowers, or shrubs with edible fruit, along with a vegetable garden.
These gardening types are also constructed on commercial gardening displays for scenic appearances. With many styles and types of gardens, gardens are uniquely assembled and displayed with trellises, benches, and scenic outdoor settings with seating areas for both residential and commercial garden displays.
Sun-Joe-Electric-Cultivator is compact and easy to guide in small and medium size tilling areas.
Tillers are low-cost gardening tools that help lift and grind turf and soil into fine soil compost for in-ground annual garden patches that are cultivated annually or multiple times during the growing season. Sun Joe Tillers/Cultivators are compact in size for easier handling.Tilling soil allow plants’ root systems to absorb water and soil nutrients with ease. Vegetable garden plants’ root systems need both water and direct sunlight coming into the upper part of the plants and the plants’ tilled soil. Tilled soil allows for deeper water drainage that sends the plants’ roots deeper to promote deep root systems versus surface root systems. In direct sunlight, surface root systems need more watering times.
A shade garden also needs tilled soil to maximize root systems. A shade garden uses partial sunlight and it does not use as much water. There are certain types of plants that will thrive in shade gardens.

Maintaining At-Home Gardening Types Listed Above
Cultivate/Till around existing perennial and annual vegetable and flower displays, add soil enhancements to soil at time of planting annuals and renewing of perennials. You add soil enhancements at the time you are planting the new plants in the gardens. Then you add soil enhancements to soil in the Spring for existing perennial displays.
There are two key soil enhancements to use annually, eggshells and natural charcoal.
One, use a Coffee Grinder by Black and Decker (#commearned) to turn eggshells into powder to sprinkle on soil to add a steady flow of calcium to the soil. Clean eggshells with water, par-boil shells, then peel exterior hard eggshell from inter-shell lining, then dry exterior eggshells in oven at 170 degrees. After dried shells have cooled, grind in grinder to a powder. Store unused powder in closed brown paper bags in refrigerator for later use in the garden.
Two, add small chunks of Organic Horticultural Charcoal by Kingfishers (#commearned) throughout gardening to help eliminate pesty pests in soil and fertilize plants further. Charcoal may raise your soil p.h level, but it is a healthy and balancing soil additive that can be adjusted by adding vinegar to the soil with the charcoal in your soil. Use vinegar to lower your soil’s p.h level back down to a normal level by using a 4 in 1Â Soil p.h Meter by IRTOVÂ (#commearned). Test your soil p.h level when using charcoal small chunks, charcoal powder, and charcoal dust.Â
These two additives will help with maintenance of soil, and they will help with having less pest in the garden and soil.
Bone meal is also a fertilizer that promotes healthy plant growth and root production, but bone meal can attract animals, rodents, and bugs to a garden. You can still grow healthy productive crops without bone meal. Root production is less, but the top foliage production is still there. Root crops like carrots, beets, garlic, onions, and turnips can have top foliage production with less root production with the two soil enhancements listed above.
On the other hand, “Rock Phosphate Organic 0-3-Fertilizer” by Down to Earth All Natural Fertilizers (#commearned) is a bone meal substitute that help promote root production crops and all other plants. You add this solution to soil. By using this organic solution, you help keep animals from being attracted to the gardens and nourish the plants with fertilizer. Follow label directions.
Therefore, have styles/types of gardens arranged into unique scenic gardening appearances with less pest and animal intrusions. Gardening is the process of maintaining plants/outdoor spaces into scenic garden appearances. You can display at-home gardens uniquely with trellises, benches, and outdoor settings with pest repellant flowers, that include mint, basil, lemongrass, mums, lavender, four o’clock, and marigold flowers. Garden types include Botanical Gardens, Landscape Gardens, Zen Gardens, Scenic Gardens and Vegetable Gardens.
 Notes if using bone meal.
Use Organics Granular Bone Meal Fertilizer by Jobe’s (#commearned) if your soil’s pH level is below seven. Take one tablespoon of bone meal to every two square feet of garden soil. Mix or till bone meal thoroughly into your soil. Bone meal can attract animals, rodents, and bugs to garden. Use with caution. Bone meal is beneficial to root crops like, garlic, onions, carrots, beets, and turnips. Have bug, animal, and pest repellants in place when using bone meal. Repellants include border plants like in-ground mints, marigolds, green onions, potted lavender, potted basils, and potted lemongrass.
Tilling/Cultivating using Sun Joe Electric Models
This Tiller Model TJ603E by Sun Joe (#commissionearned) has great handling and performance capacities for large or small gardening patches, flower beds, pathways, gardening layout plots, some raised bed layouts, and lawn and garden borders for both residential and commercial uses. This unit also assist in weeding for large gardening areas. This product has easy tilling/cultivating maneuverings for the topsoil layers of gardens and patches for many outdoor gardening projects. This Sun Joe Tiller works great for adding in new topsoil. After tilling topsoil, the soil is easier to manage for planting crops and flowers. Plants are then easier to maintain by insert weed barriers, like cardboard, brown paper bags, or newspaper into the soil prior to planting seedlings and seeds to protect new and expanding plant roots from invading weeds and grasses. This is a great product for home and commercial use.
Tilling soil in pre-gardening cold weather help eliminate un-needed bugs out of the soil when the weather gets warmer. The earlier colder churned soil kills some un-needed bugs.
Other Sun Joe Tiller/Cultivator models are TJ599E, 2.5 Amp, TJ604E, 12 Amp, TJ605E 13.5 Amp, and TJ600E 6.0 Amp.
Sun Joe Tillers don’t use fuels, fuel stabilizers (see blog page), or motor oils like other outdoor products do. They are again easy to use and easy to maintain. Just follow product instructions. Wipe the products clean after each of their uses with a clean cloth both their tines and housing areas. Then cover the products with drop cloths (see blog page) Â for easy dust-free storages. Their handles fold also for easy, secure storages during non-gardening seasons.
