Gardening Without A Lawn-Alternative Techniques

Living in an apartment, a townhouse, or if you live in the inner city, you may think you can't have a nice garden. It’s not true, you can and I'm going to get you started planning your no lawn garden.

You can have Patio Gardens: You may only have a small lawn, and don't want to dig it all up, but you do have a good-sized patio. Well, you can always share your seating and eating area with a garden. It’s not a usual garden, naturally, but a garden non-the less.

With Dallas Pottery's great and decorative pots and containers, you can create a full garden on the patio.

First make a decision if you want to grow vegetables, flowers, bushes or trees. Consider which plants take well to container growing. Most vegetable can be grown this way.

For some great information and ideas for patio gardening see these wonderful link at Dallas Pottery; our own Clay Higgins shows us how he transformed his front entrance in Front Patio Garden with Daffodil.

If you have absolutely no lawn, put a deck and balcony garden, you have garden space. Making your gardening in these spaces, add the feel of another room in the house. Make a ridged plan or mix and match all sorts of plantings.

This will require your creativity before you can produce a garden "room". So as to no one will want to leave. Put a bench with a planter attached at both ends. Place them with some potted trees behind it and you will have a wonderful little nook for intimate rendezvous.

Rooftop Gardens is best in urban living. Will you love the city but long to have fresh veggies and flowers at your fingertips? Don't be hopelessness, if you have a roof, or access to one, you can have that gardening experience.

The rooftop gardens aren't anything new, but if you have never seen one you're in for a treat. The view and feel of a roof garden is like nothing you have ever experienced. Have the tastes and smells of nature, among the beautiful cityscape view. You really must try a rooftop garden, if you do have that roof and that dream.

Hope all these would ease your pangs for gardening without a lawn. Even though you do have gardening space, these alternatives are great for creating even more gardening space.
