Let's cultivate your green thumb! This lesson introduces the essential vocabulary you will need for managing your garden, from sowing seeds to weeding flowerbeds.
Planting and Watering
When starting out, you will likely plant your seeds in a flowerbed (et bed) or a greenhouse (et drivhus).
To keep your new seeds happy, you will need to water them. This is usually done using the garden hose (en haveslange).
Fertilizing and Weeding
If you want your plants to thrive, you have to fertilize (at gøde) the soil using fertilizer (gødning).
A gardener's work is never done. You also need to regularly weed (at luge) the garden. The pulled weeds and other organic waste can be thrown onto the compost (komposten).
Sprouts and Gardening Gear
Soon, your hard work will pay off, and you will see the first little sprout (en spire) popping up from the soil.
For heavier garden chores, like moving soil or weeds, a wheelbarrow (en trillebør) is essential.
Finally, if you don't have a large garden or prefer a raised setup, you can always grow your plants in a planter box (en plantekasse).
