The concept that emphasizes the use of yard land that is too narrow, I provide a solution for food security, especially in the midst of rampant development that drains agricultural land. Farming in a very narrow environment makes us lazy, even though we like or have a hobby of planting. However, because the land or yard is narrow, there are many opportunities for us to grow plants and produce healthy and fresh food for our own consumption.

Designing a Productive Garden

Designing a productive garden in the yard is the key to success for those of us who want to utilize the yard even though it is narrow. I suggest starting by determining the type of plant you want to cultivate. Consider space requirements, availability of sunlight, and soil conditions needed. After that, make a garden plan to maximize land use. Arrange tall plants at the back, while short plants in front so that they get enough sunlight.

Vertical Land Utilization

To optimize limited land, I encourage you to use vertical techniques. Such as using walls, fences, or poles to plant climbing plants such as peas or tomatoes. In addition to saving space, this technique also beautifies the appearance of our yard. We can make tiered shelves or plant plants in hanging pots to increase plant production capacity.

Choosing the Right Plants

Choosing the type of plant is very important, we choose plants that are easy to care for and in accordance with the climate conditions in our environment. Plant various types of plants to meet daily nutritional needs. Don't forget to check or choose plants to maintain soil health and prevent pest attacks. We continue to produce abundant harvests, routine maintenance is needed. Water the plants regularly, especially during the dry season. Provide organic fertilizer or compost to fertilize the soil. Weed regularly to remove weeds that can inhibit plant growth. If necessary, use organic pesticides to control pests and diseases, providing many benefits, not only in terms of economy and food security, but also for the environment. By utilizing yard land, we reduce the carbon footprint due to food transportation from far away. In addition, we also help improve air and water quality by absorbing pollution and producing fresh air or oxygen, Thank you.
