Despite the fact that people in modern society live in apartments, sooner or later they are "pulled to the ground." This may be a sudden love of homemade cacti and indoor flowers, or it may be an unexpected desire to engage in growing vegetables on a plot of a country house.
If everything is clear with the first, then the second requires more effort. And here it may come to mind not the implementation of the garden in the “old fashioned way”, but the desire to go in a relatively new direction - the “lazy garden”. Such a garden is characterized by innovation and numerous ways to care for seedlings.
With proper implementation of the plot, plants will not need frequent intervention, only regular watering and annual improvement of places for new seedlings.
