Introduction

If you’re itching to get in the garden, we’ve got some tips and tricks to help you make the most of your time.

Mulching

Mulching is a great way to keep your garden healthy and looking good. Mulch helps retain moisture in the soil, which will prevent erosion and damage from rain or wind. It also prevents weeds from growing by blocking sunlight from the soil.

Start with the soil.

Start with the soil.

Soil is the foundation of your garden and a lot goes into making it healthy, nutritious and pretty. Soil is made up of many different components that need to be in balance for good plant growth:

• Carbon (organic matter)
• Nitrogen (grass clippings, kitchen scraps)
• Sulfur (sulfate of potash or cottonseed meal)
• Phosphorous (bone meal or rock phosphate)

(more elements that may be necessary for your particular garden or growing area)

Get some natural fertilizer.

Let’s start with the most obvious: compost. This is an easy, free way of adding all manner of organic matter to your garden, which will provide it with nutrients and help break down all that dead plant matter into soil. You can buy compost or make it yourself (see below).

Manure is another great source of organic material for your garden. While not everyone likes having poop in their yard (or on their lawn), manure provides lots of nutrients for plants and does not need to be buried deeper than four inches so as not to attract animals. If you have the room, try keeping some chickens or rabbits on hand so that you can collect their droppings for use in your garden!

Grass clippings are another great option that are often plentiful from homeowners who mow their lawns regularly during springtime; these grass clippings will decompose quickly and freely add valuable nutrients back into the soil without needing much work at all!

Water wisely.

Watering plants is a lot like feeding them. You want to do it right, but the wrong approach can have long-term consequences. Here are some tips for watering wisely:

• Water in the morning. Early in the day is when plants need their water most, and if you wait until later in the day it could be too much for your plant’s roots to handle.
• Use a hose with a spray nozzle (and check that it’s not leaking). The spray will help you get closer to your plants so you don’t waste any precious water on dirt or grass nearby and also makes sure that each plant gets exactly as much as they need without leaving them too wet or dry afterward!

Concentrate on the roots

When it comes to plants, the roots are the heart of your garden. They need to be able to reach water and nutrients in order for a plant to grow. They also need to be able to grow, which means they need space for their roots to spread out as well. Lastly, roots need oxygen in order for them not only remain healthy but thrive as well. In this section we’ll help you learn how you can help your garden’s roots become healthy by providing them with all they need: water, nutrients, space and oxygen!

With these tips you will have a great garden in no time!

• Plant seeds in the right season
• Choose high-quality soil for your garden
• Don’t forget about mulching!
• Water wisely!
• Natural fertilizer is your friend, but don’t overdo it!
• Pay attention to roots/soil structure/light exposure
