A home garden doesn’t have to be on a plot of land, in case
you’re worried that you have no such space. You can have several pots or tubs
of soil where you plant. Some general tips to make your home gardening easier
and more yielding are:
1-
Enrich your soil using mulch/compost manure.
2-
Pick a spot that receives a good amount of
sunlight; for at least 6-8 hours each day.
3-
Water your garden just enough to keep it moist,
cool, and healthy.
4-
Conduct regular weeding in your garden and
protect it from other pests as well.
5-
Do a bit of research before planting. We suggest
you seek just enough information to begin your domestic gardening journey. Too
much information and you might feel overwhelmed.
6- Be mindful and intentional about your garden as about all other things. It might seem difficult at first, but with practice and persistence, you’re sure to get the hang of it, and reap a satisfying harvest.
Wishing you a big, green thumb!
