How to Make Your Own Mini Garden with Only 3 Ingredients
To start, you will need to find a container. Anything will work from a cardboard box to a trash bin. Once you have something to plant in, start to fill the container with soil about 3/4 to the top.
After filling the container, you need to start placing your seeds. Take your hands and form a small hole in the middle. This is where you will be placing your seeds. Once your done, take the seeds and carefully place them in the pot. So your seeds are protected, pile a reasonable amount of soil on the top of your container. Try not to fill it up all the way to avoid a mess.
The last step is to remember to water your plant and to give it lots of sunlight. If your container is small enough you probably might be able to place your plant on a windowsill, if not then just place it close to a window.
With these steps you should be successful in making and maintaining your own mini garden. Enjoy!
