Step 01
PLANT SELECTION: CREATE A THRIVING GARDEN WITH THE PERFECT PLANT COMBINATION
When starting out in gardening, it's essential to select plants suitable for your climate, available sunlight, and soil conditions. Consider factors like plant hardiness, water requirements, and growth habits. Researching and choosing a diverse mix of plants will add beauty and provide ecological benefits to your garden.
Step 02
SOIL PREPARATION: NURTURE THE GROUND FOR HEALTHY GROWTH
Preparing the soil is a crucial step in establishing a healthy garden. Begin by removing any weeds or grass, then loosen the soil using a garden fork or tiller. Incorporate organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure to improve soil structure, fertility, and moisture retention. Conduct a soil test to determine nutrient levels and make appropriate amendments.
Step 03
PLANTING ESSENTIALS: SEEDING HOPE AND HYDRATION
When planting, dig a hole slightly wider and deeper than the root ball of your plant. Gently remove the plant from its container, loosen the roots, and place it in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above the soil surface. After planting, water thoroughly to settle the soil and promote root establishment. Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, paying attention to the specific water needs of each plant.
