Oliphant Indoor Allotment Gift Set Herb Garden

Product Information

Gifting your mum this set of four pretty, cast-resin birds is a sweet way to give her a smile this year. They're quirky addition to her decor, but their golden coats make them look super classy too. You can construct planters and raised beds from so many materials. If a neat-looking allotment appeals to you, square or rectangular metal planter boxes might be the way to go. Metal choices include aluminium, galvanised steel, or even cast iron. Metal planters can be strong and look attractive against your greenery. However, you need to be careful about the sun potentially overheating the soil and damaging your plants. Make sure to use a plastic liner and always guarantee good drainage. 11. Insulate your plants with cold frames Microgreens like typically radishes, mustard greens, chard, broccoli and lettuce can easily be grown at home, if you have a sunny perch and a shallow container to put them in. Spinach, swiss chard and kale are also possibilities for your indoor garden. CELERY As it is National Allotments Week, I thought I would share the progress we’re making with our hydroponic indoor ‘allotment’. This tiny wood fenced windowsill allotment, above, includes everything you need for your little indoor herb garden. Three mini pots with drainage trays, three soil pellets, and approximately 50 each of coriander, basil, and oregano seeds. When you lift the tiny garden shed’s roof and swing open the door, you’ll find snips (gardentalk for herb scissors) that you can store there with your left over seeds. And as you can move your little allotment from windowsill to table to bookcase, consider a mobile garden. Get the family together or office mates to participate!

Build a bug attractor Not only was she conscious of the environmental impact of this, but also wondered what nutrients were really left in vegetables that had travelled so far. What kind of plants are there already? If there are any established, you may wish to keep some crops that you’ll want to eat. Collaboration is a fundamental aspect of allotment gardening. Here in the UK, even if your local council has no allotment land available, you can make an application requesting allotment land if you get together with six or more others on the electoral roll. Your local authority must consider it, although there’s no specific timeframe for them to provide land. But the more support you have from other keen potential allotment gardeners, the more persuasive your application will be. What’s best to grow in an allotment garden?
