If you’re like most apartment dwellers, the “Is my apartment gardening zone?” question crops up from time to time. It’s one of those questions apartment dwellers ask and the answer is sort of depends on who you ask. For some apartment dwellers, the zone is simply a section of their yard that is fenced in and has plants growing on it. For other apartment dwellers, it is an entirely separate area of the apartment that might be filled with rocks, benches, a playground, a swimming pool or something else.

In order to determine what your apartment gardening zone is you’ll first need to decide what type of apartment gardening you are going to do. Do you want small containers of soil in a pot on the floor? Or are you looking for a raised bed with beds of soil on it? Perhaps you just have an apartment balcony and you just need an easy place to put a hand out or something like that? It really is a personal thing. You can’t go wrong with either one so keep that in mind when you are making your decision.

Once you know what you are going to do with your apartment gardening zone, you can start thinking about what types of plants you might want to grow. You don’t want to buy a bunch of seed and plant everything in the allotted space, so the type of plants you decide to grow is going to depend on the conditions of your apartment. Some plants will do better in a dry and hot apartment than others, so don’t think because your apartment is on the bottom floor that you can grow anything from roses to grape vines.

If you are not sure what kind of plants to grow in your apartment gardening zone, ask the landlord. Many apartments have gardens and the rules for those gardens vary depending on what you have. You can also find out what kinds of plants the other people in your apartment have by going into your apartment building and talking to the people who come into your complex. They are usually very helpful and happy to tell you what they have and what they don’t have.

The next thing you need to do is go over the rules and regulations of your apartment building. Some apartments require certain things like flowering beds and flowers to be planted in certain areas. This is not always the case but check with the person who is in charge of your apartment gardening zone. If you follow the rules you should be fine. If you see a problem, it is best to talk about it immediately rather than waiting until later.

After you know what you are allowed to grow in your apartment garden, it is time to actually plant. It is best to plant in the spring, because the summer heat tends to kill all plants. When you are planting, make sure you water your garden carefully. Watering is very important, as the roots will get more water when watering. Be careful not to water too much though. If you do, you may end up with a bunch of weeds growing where you didn’t intend!

Once you have planted your garden, be careful to keep it well watered. Fertilizer should be added after the first watering. This will help your plants and soil stay healthy. I also recommend that you keep an eye on the fertilizer to make sure you are using enough to feed your plants as well as keeping the soil in top condition.

The last thing you need to consider is a great mulch. A mulch will help keep your flowers and shrubs from dying out. It will also keep the soil moist, which is critical for your plants. This is something else that you will need to look into in your apartment gardening zone. There are many sources online that will help you with this step.
