Why might plants not grow in a courtyard?
Soil Issues
Compacted soil
Low fertility
The soil fertility supplies the essential nutrients that plants need for vital processes like photosynthesis and disease resistance
Low fertility can lead to reduced growth, lower yields, increased vulnerability and land degradation
Poor Structure
Influences the availability of water, air and nutrients
Poorly structured soils, like compacted soils, restrict root penetration leading to waterlogging or drought. It also inhibits nutrient intake
Light absoprtion
The plant is receiving limited light to what it requires
The plant is receiving too much sunlight and receives no shade, causing it to dry out
Temperature
Temperature is too hot/cold for the plant to live in
The temperature is too inconsistent for the plant
Constant rain - too much water intake for the plant
If the plant is living out of its normal living conditions
Water intake and water quality
Too little/Too much water is being given to the plants
The water quality is poor and contains pathogens and insects that infest plants
Humidity
Plant living out of normal living conditions may struggle to adapt to the new climates humidity
Too humid
Not humid enough
Nutrient absorption
Not enough nutrients are being provided and are found in the soil used
The wrong types of nutrients are fed to the plant
Too much nutrients are being given overfeeding the plant
Animals
Household pets
Eating the plants
urinating on the plants causing plants to die
digging up the garden constantly
Birds
Eating the plants
taking parts of the garden to use as a nest
Insects
eating the plants
spreading pathogens onto the plants
Environmental incompatability
Weather
