Outdoors Gardening
In
2005, Environmental Management, revealed more than 40 million acres of
America are covered in lawns, regrettably making turf grass our largest
irrigated crop. Maybe you have tired of manicuring the lawn for the
umpteenth time and would like to make better use of your time, water,
and lawn space. For this reason you can join the more than 70 million
US
gardeners who choose to grow their own fruit, veggies, and herbs.
Outdoors gardens are classified as either:
ornamental
gardens or
production
gardens. 
While ornamental gardens enhance and beautify their surroundings, on the other hand production gardens provide harvests of flowers, fruits, herbs, or vegetable. Consequently, many gardeners grow a combination of ornamental and production gardens. In brief, preparation of outdoor gardens consists of:
site
selection,
soil
analysis, and
planning.
Some of the on-going cultivation practices include:
watering,
fertilizing,
weeding,
and
pest
control.
