Know your garden's soil, climate, and sunlight. Select plants that flourish in these conditions for success.
Consider plant height, spacing, and growth tendencies when designing your garden. Optimize space and growth using a layout.
Choose plants for your climate and garden. Choose plants based on seasonality, mature size, and maintenance.
Ensure your soil is healthy and fertile. Amend the soil with organic matter, compost, or fertilizers to improve its texture, nutrients, and drainage.
Water deeply and rarely, letting the soil dry between waterings. Adjust watering schedules for plant and weather needs.
Plants benefit from mulching to retain moisture, regulate temperature, and control weeds. As they disintegrate, organic mulches enrich soil.
Stay on top of regular garden maintenance tasks like weeding, pruning, and deadheading spent flowers. This promotes plant health and encourages new growth.
Use organic or slow-release fertilizers to nourish your plants. Apply at appropriate rates and times.
Regularly inspect plants for pests and diseases. Control difficulties with natural medicines, helpful insects, or eco-friendly treatments.
Be willing to change your gardening methods. Each season presents new problems and opportunities, so keep learning and adapting.
