Introduction
If you’re a gardening beginner, you probably have some questions about what to do in your garden. Here are the basics of making sure your plants get enough water and sunlight, how to prevent pests and diseases, and what to do when things go wrong.
But first, a quick lesson in gardening basics.
Gardening is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air. It can also be relaxing and fulfilling, especially when you watch things grow!
Gardening has many benefits. You can grow your own food, which means saving money on groceries. Gardening can also reduce stress and anxiety by allowing you to spend time outside in nature. And many people find gardening therapeutic—it’s a great way for them to unwind after a long day at work or during stressful times in life.
There are different types of gardening: fruit-, vegetable-, flower- or herb-based gardens; container gardening (which uses small pots filled with soil instead of ground soil); aquaponics (growing plants alongside fish) and hydroponics (growing plants in water). There are different tools used by gardeners as well: shovels, hoes, trowels and pruners are some common ones!
A container is soil with a plastic cover or a black plastic bag.
A container is soil with a plastic cover or a black plastic bag. It’s called that because it holds the soil, which contains nutrients and water for the plant to grow. Containers are also used to hold plants while they are being transported from one location to another.
Container gardening is the most popular way to garden in small areas because it uses less space than traditional gardens, allowing you more room for other things such as furniture or toys in your yard.
You can plant directly into the container or into the ground. If you plan to grow from seed, use a pot or planting box with drainage holes.
If you’re planting your garden directly into the ground, you need to take a few precautions. If you don’t have a planter box or container, start with just one seed and add more when it germinates. If you want to plant everything at once, make sure that there is enough space for them all to grow without crowding each other out. Your plants will also need adequate sunlight and water; if they don’t get enough, they won’t thrive and may die before producing any fruit or vegetables.
You can also buy kits that provide self-watering containers which automatically distribute water around the soil as needed by using PVC pipes packed with gravel (they eventually fill up). This makes it easier than having to constantly water your plants by hand!
The soil should be evenly moist without being soggy.
It’s important to water your plants evenly and at the right time. You should water in the morning or evening, when temperatures are cooler, to prevent evaporation. Watering also ensures that roots don’t get too wet—if you’ve ever seen a wilted plant, it was likely because its roots were saturated with water.
For watering cans or hoses:
- Wet the soil thoroughly but don’t soak it; water should be able to drip from your hand after you’ve squeezed out any excess liquid from your soaker hose (or whatever tool you’re using).
- Don’t waste precious resources by over-watering!
When you water your plants, water them in well and use lots of water so that it runs off the top of the soil instead of staying on top and making the area dark.
- Water your plants in the morning or evening.
- Water the soil, not the leaves of your plant. This will help prevent sunburned leaves and keep your plant healthy longer!
- Water until water runs out of the bottom of their container and makes sure to use lots of water so that it runs off top instead of staying on top making soil dark
Plants prefer slightly dry soil to wet soil but could probably tolerate some water if it’s not too much.
When it comes to watering plants, you should always keep in mind that the goal is to keep your soil slightly dry. This is especially true for young seedlings and cuttings.
Plants prefer slightly dry soil to wet soil, but could probably tolerate some water if it’s not too much. When watering plants, try pouring 1/4 inch of water into the hole of each plant once a week or so.
If you have dry rot or fungus, kill it right away with a fungicide.
If you have dry rot or fungus, kill it right away with a fungicide. If you have gotten a plant that is infected, remove all of the infected materials and spray the plant with fungicide to prevent further infection. The best time to spray your plants is in the early morning while they are still wet from dew. If possible, spray both the soil and leaves at least once per week using an appropriate type of fungicide like neem oil or sulfur according to directions on their labels (google them).
Pests look for vulnerable spots and can cause damage when you don’t know they are there.
Pests look for the vulnerable spots in your garden, and if you don’t know they are there, they can cause damage to your plants. They can also be controlled with pesticides or natural methods that help control pest populations and get rid of their food source.
