What is Garden Mulch?
In all of its glory, Mulch decomposes; this organic matter creates a protective layer on the soil that our plants grow in. The idea is to recreate a natural system where the soil is rarely exposed to the elements. There are two types of gardeners: those who care for plants and those who care for the soil (and, in turn, the plants that grow in it). Soil is the foundation of the lungs of the earth- plants, these green factories provide us with food, shelter and a gas called oxygen that allows us to live on this planet. Read more>>
All about Carnivorous Plants
There are many different types of plant out there and they are all so different. Some have green leaves others have purple leaves. Some grow Fruits other Vegetables. Some plants need soil others only need a tall tree in the canopy to rest on and feed on the dust in the air for water and minerals. #carnivorousplants #carnivorous #kidsgardening
Winter Gardening for Children
Even in the colder months of autumn and winter when lots of plants have lost their leaves some vegetables prefer to be planted so they are ready for the start of spring. Some vegetables even need a touch of frost to improve their flavour. It is always best to plant new trees in the winter as the way they have no leaves when you plant them so they put their energy into growing roots. #kidsgardening #gardeningforkids #wintergardening
Lets Grow Pumpkins
When you cut the top of your pumpkin off to decorate it for Halloween the mushy orange stuff you scoop out is mixed with the seeds. Collect the seeds and dry as many as you want to plant. Then in May plants the seeds and watch them grow. #pumpkins #growingpumpkins www.danthegardener.com
How to Grow Pumpkins - Dan The Gardener & Friends
Pumpkins are large orange fruits which grow above ground but rest on the floor because they get so heavy. The best time to sow pumpkins seeds is late May. You can plant seeds you buy from a shop straight away but if you get them from inside a pumpkin dry the seeds in a paper towel and leave them to for a week. #kidsgardening #growpumpkins www.danthegardener.com
What is Compost - Kids Composting Tips? - Dan The Gardener & Friends
How To Make Your Own Compost Bin - You will need a clear plastic container with a lid, ask an adult to make 4 holes in the bottom to let the smelly liquid out as the compost is made. At the bottom of the plastic container place some damp newspaper or kitchen roll. Then start adding all your compost materials as you get them; it is also a good idea to add a little soil at the start as well. #composting #kidscomposting #compostbin
What is Compost - Kids Composting Tips? - Dan The Gardener & Friends
Compost is a nutrient-rich soil It is made from natural recyclable materials found in the garden and the kitchen. You can easily buy compost from a gardening shop, but making your own is so much more fun. It is made up from natural materials that break down into the soil feeding it with nutrients which in turn stabilise the pH levels in the soil. By composting you are helping the environment. #compostingforkids # kidscomposting #diycompostbin
How to show plant growth to children
When children are first starting out in the garden, it can be hard to explain how plants grow. Growing beans in a glass jar in the early spring is a great way to introduce them to how plants grow and because it is in a glass, children can see the magic happen at every step of the way. A really easy experiment to do and will create much excitement with the little ones. Kids gardening | gardening experiments | teaching gardening to children | plant growth

What is Compost - Kids Composting Tips? - Dan The Gardener & Friends
Compost is a Nutrient-Rich Soil so If you are making a compost heap find a place at the bottom of your garden to start, try to cover it up with an old sheet or plastic. As the weeks go by stirring it around and in a few months, the matter starts becoming compost. You will find lots of earthworms in there as it has so many nutrients for us, so be careful stirring it around, no rough stuff, please. #composting # kidscomposting #diycomposting

Looking For Kids Gardening Tips The best time to water plants in the summer is early morning before the sun gets too bright, and in the evening, when the sun is setting. This is because plants leaves may burn if given water in the hot midday sun. Try not to use black plant pots in the summer because the sun will make the roots too hot. #gardeningwithkids #gardeningwithchildren #gardeningwithkidsisfun
