know your garden
This is the most important thing, the first thing to do. You have to know what type of soil you have, its texture, its composition, its pH , etc., since depending on how it is, you can grow some plants or others. But don’t worry, it’s not as difficult as it seems.
Don’t plant more than you can fit
Space is limited. When you go to buy the seeds or seedlings , it is necessary that you know the dimensions that they will have once they are adults , since this way you will be able to determine how much land they need and, therefore, how many specimens fit in your garden.
Seeds or seedlings?
It will depend on your experience growing plants and how rushed you are to harvest them. If it is the first time that you are going to have a garden, we recommend that you do it with already grown seedlings, because you will only have to plant them in the ground and start taking care of them. On the other hand, if you have experience or if you feel like sowing the seeds more, we recommend doing it in a seed tray to have more control over them.
Install the irrigation system
Whether you have a flowerpot-garden or a garden on the ground, it is convenient that you install an irrigation system that best suits your needs and the number of plants you have .
Pay with homemade products
At home we tend to throw away many things that plants can take advantage of, such as egg and banana peels, tea bags that have already been used, or old vegetables . For this reason, in addition to paying with the organic fertilizers that they will sell you in the nurseries, you can use these remains so that your horticultural plants grow healthy.
Treat plants with ecological remedies
No matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to protect plants from all pests and diseases . Even so, you can always make use of home remedies to prevent the problem from escalating.
