Today Let me Take you through the process of creating a basic Dish Garden ..
1) Material Gathering : First step we are going to start by gathering the following materials to create a terrarium :
- A Shallow Pot
- Coarse Soil (Brick Pieces)
- Potting Soil
- Dish Garden Plants
- Moss Sheet
2) Prepping the Pot : First take our Shallow Pot and Pierce 2 to 3 holes on the bottom area of the Shallow Pot. Then cover the holes with a square shaped net on each hole, intact the net with a wire. The holes will help excess water to drain out quickly from the Pot and the net will prevent the soil from flowing through the holes .
3) Potting Coarse Soil (Brick Pieces) : Next step is to spread brick pieces on covered net area these in turn will help with drain system of the Disk Garden , Expelling all the excess water .
4) Create Soil Mix : Create your Potting Soil mix by mixing mud with cockpit and vermin compost .
5) Potting Mix Layer : Now add your mixture of vermin compost and mud to the container gently. Fill the container upto 1/2 or 2/3 its size .
6) Visualising a Basic Props Placement: Create a rough picture of a layout of scenery you want in your Dish Garden and then start by placing the biggest props you want in it …that is in my case a house then the fence and so on
