1. Use A Garden Kit
A Garden Kit is a super easy way to start gardening! Already included are step-by-step
planting instructions, seeds, tools & more to successfully start gardening.
Garden Kits are great for those who want to know more about plants
but aren’t sure which one to grow.
2. Sunlight Love
Always give your plant sunlight daily for at least 6 hours to
keep it healthy. When choosing where to put your plant ensure that it’s in an
area with sunlight. Depending on the plant you choose, some plants may need
more sunlight than others. Basil, marigolds and lettuce are all easy to grow and
thrive in sunlight!
3. Water With Caution
While it is important to water your plants regularly, you should avoid overwatering it. Overwatering can lead to root rot, yellowing leaves, insects etc. To avoid these issues, water your plants once in the early morning. This allows the water to absorb into the soil before the sun gets too hot. Depending on the plant the amount of watering needed will vary.
4. Learn About Your Soil
Healthy soil makes a healthy garden! Before planting, it’s good to learn about your soil. Simple ways to learn are by reading books like Soil Science for Gardeners, reading the packaging of your soil or doing online research. Adding compost to your soil can improve your plants health, along with using a Soil Meter to monitor the pH and nutrient levels of your soil.
Start Your Journey
The first step to a successful garden is to simply start
your gardening journey. Remember to have fun and learn from your mistakes along
the way. 😊
