The majority of gardens are very underused. It is not really all that surprising though when you consider that, for most of the year, they will be submerged under a great deal of water and in turn a place that few people will want to spend a huge amount of time.
However, gardens are a valuable commodity and should be optimised as extra living space all year round, else they will be nothing more than very costly spaces that may, on occasion, be nice to look at.
The secret to making a garden habitable at any time of year is to optimise the use of decking boards. By creating decked areas, you will have a place that will be comfortable at any time of the year, no matter how much it might have been raining. In the summer, they can be the perfect place to sunbathe or enjoy a barbecue and, in the winter, with the simple addition of an awning and a heater, they can be a valuable extra outdoor space, allowing you to boost your health by getting extra fresh air and to simply enjoy nature far more.
Of course, garden decking is not the only way to optimise how you use your garden and whilst it will indeed be an ideal place to sit and enjoy the sun, some food or even just some fresh air, it can also be the perfect place to grow your own crops.
You do not need an allotment or a PhD in gardening to grow a few key items of food, and you will almost certainly find that, with the simple addition of a greenhouse or even just the right compost heap, you are able to grow any number of foods in your garden and be healthier and better off for it.
