MINIGARDEN SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT

The choice of the location where you are going to install the modularMinigarden vases is critical to the success of your planting. Wheneverpossible, the Minigarden should be oriented so as to maximise its


65/73

8 English

exposure to the sun and, in the event of installation outdoors, theplants’ exposure to dominant winds should be minimised, given that thewind is the main factor responsible for drying plants, as it increases theirrate of evapotranspiration.

Light is an essential factor to photosynthesis, vital for the proper development of the majority of plants.In the case of fruits, it is essential for producing sugars. The greater the light intensity, the better theorganoleptic characteristics of the fruit will be. In general, a lack of light causes an exaggerated elongationof the stems, a loss of colour and vitality, and the plant becomes weak.

The presence of a water point is important, as it facilitates the task of watering, either manually or throughan automated drip-feed system.

For the proper development of the plants and their root system in the modular Minigarden vases, a universalor compound substrate should be used and not ordinary garden soil.

This way, proper drainage and aeration is ensured, as well as an adequate capacity to retain water andexchange nutrients. Garden soil may still be contaminated with fungi and may contain seeds that willgerminate, competing with the plantings.

As a rule, substrates are lighter, thus reducing the load to which the structure will be subjected. Regardlessof the type of substrate used, it should always include fertiliser when planting, and at least once a year thisfertiliser should be added again.

To facilitate drainage of the system, a 10 cm layer of Leca clay granules may optionally be placed at thebottom of each of the modular vases. To prevent the substrate from mixing with the Leca, a lter comprisedof a Geotextile blanket may be added with the Leca clay granules.

TYPE OF SUBSTRATE

FILLINGThe Minigarden is lled manually.We suggest proceeding with lling before assembling the modular Minigardensystem. Filling is carried out up to the top mark (2 cm below the edge of theMinigarden)

SEEDING

Minigarden).

Seeding operations may be carried out before or after the assembly of the modularMinigarden system. In either case, seeds should be spread after the Minigarden has beenlled, and only on the exposed surface of the cavity.

Seeding is carried out by burying the seed and covering it with a thin layer of substrate4 to 5 times thicker than the diameter of the seed. In the last Minigarden line, seedingmay be carried out over the entire area, provided that the lid is not installed (parts B).

In function of the type of plant to germinate, you may place one or more seeds percavity. In the case of aromatic plants, we suggest putting several seeds. Germination

time depends on the variety chosen, the climatic conditions and the location of the Minigarden system.

If the Minigarden system is outdoors, it is important to respect the seeding season for each species. If not,germination may not take place. See the seed packaging for supplementary information and pay attentionto the validity.

PLANTING

When installing the Minigarden system, you may opt to purchase the plants and carryout planting, instead of seeding, operations, thus gaining good nal results morerapidly.This operation may be carried out simultaneously with the lling of the Minigardenand respective assembly, or at the end when the wall has been totally assembled.

In the rst case, plants should be used whose vase or root systems are not greaterthan 90 mm in diameter.


67/73

Watering should be carried out in the morning or in late afternoon, so as to avoidexcessive loss by evaporation. It should not be carried out during the hottest hours ofthe day.Don’t forget that, even when installed outdoors and exposed to rain, the Minigarden mustbe watered, given that, due to the conguration of the cavity, rainwater may not reach the

lower levels and moisten the substrate enough for the needs of the plant


68/73

lower levels and moisten the substrate enough for the needs of the plant.For successful planting, do not forget fertiliser, indispensable for the plants to develop healthily.

Fertilisers may be chemical or organic.

Organic fertilisers, which are already widely available, have a benecial impact on the environment.

Common chemical fertilisers are easy to dose and may be dissolved and dispensed to the plant during watering.

The choice of appropriate fertiliser should be made in function of the plants inserted in the Minigarden, and

their needs for nutrients. Fertilisers available on the market carry the NPK acronym, showing that the productcontains the most important nutrients for the development of the plants in terms of parts of nitrogen (N),parts of phosphorous (P) and parts of potassium (K). There are dierent formulas of NPK fertilisers, basedon their purpose.

In general, we use:

- NPK 4-14-8 for species that produce owers and fruits. This formulation is recommended to be applied atthe moment of planting, as it oers better root formation and development and plant structure. High levelsof phosphorous aids owering.

- NPK 10-10-10 for species that do not ower and do not bear fruits, or may be applied to plants alreadyestablished (owers, vegetables, fruits), in the form of coverage.

- NPK 15-15-20, rich in potassium, this formulation is considered very practical, as it may also be used inhydroponic cultivation, being especially recommended for vegetables.

Specic formulations also exist on the market for certain species of ornamental plants. In this case, theformulation is appropriate to the nutritional needs of each species.The frequency for adding fertiliser varies according to the species, but, in general, fertiliser may beapplied every two months. But remember: regarding the dose and form of application, strictly follow themanufacturer’s recommendations as shown on the product packaging.

RENEWAL OF PLANTS

It is natural that the planting success rate does not reach 100%. In this case, it isnecessary to proceed with the replacement of dead plants.

RENEWING SUBSTRATE

It may also be necessary to replace some plants due to poor adaptation. In eithercase, the process is simple. The dead plant/plant to be replaced is removed. If it is

necessary to facilitate the removal, a little water may be poured into the cavity. Thistask may be more or less dicult in function of the dimension of the roots systemof the plant to be removed.

With a planter or a spike (a pointed wooden or metal object), turn the adjacent substrate and leavea hole ready to receive the new plant.

The diameter should be greater than the root ball of the new plant.

Proceed as indicated under the item “Planting”.

In any vase or ower baskets, periodic replacement of the substrate is always necessary, given that, as it is a

means of waterproong, the substrate ends up running out.Under the Minigarden system, its replacement is indispensable and recommended for the proper developmentof the plants.

All the substrate does not have to be replaced at once. For example, we suggest that during one plantreplacement operation you take the opportunity to remove 40 to 50% of the substrate adjacent to a cavity.With recourse to a planter or a pointed object, turn and remove the greatest possible quantity of substrate,without dismantling the Minigarden system.

After, continue to add substrate to ll in what has been removed, leaving the necessary space to insert the plant .This operation may also be carried out without replacing the original plant. Remove the plant temporarily fromthe cavity; proceed with the processing of the substrate and put the plant back, following the same steps asunder “Planting”.

Substrates degrade with greater speed when they hold seasonal fruit plants, such as strawberry, pepper andtomato plants, etc. When decorative indoor plants are used, the substrate can last up to ve years.

Almost all dwarf shrubs and herbaceous plants may be used in a Minigarden structure. Simply arrange themharmoniously (in terms of shape, texture and colour) and be careful to group them by similar water needs, asthey are going to share the same space, and therefore be watered simultaneously.

RECOMMENDED VARIETIES
