My 4 Basic Gardening Tips

Surely these would help you when you start your own. Lots of information and tips on gardening are easily accessible on books and magazines on gardening, the internet and your local nursery. Amongst them, the most important are: how much of sun can you expect the plot to get? The type of tools needed including the kind of tiller and watering system that are required, are information that are important.
Tip #1: If you write down what you plan to do with your garden you can save a lot of time. Keeping the plan in front of you helps.To help you get going, brainstorm with a friend with the plan in front of you. Of course there are other points which may come up also.
Gardening Tip #2: The preparation of the soil is a major piece of the garden puzzle and has huge effects on the success of your garden. One of the important points of consideration is that all plants may not grow well in the same kind of soil. Use organic fertilizers if you wish to retain the natural aroma of the food when you are growing #vegetables# and herbs. Instead of using ordinary fertilizer, try using any good compost or even wooden chip mulch.
Are you of the opinion that a backyard compost heap is impossible? While fresh home brew compost is rich in nutrients, it might prove to be unrealistic for the herb and vegetable garden. While mulch is a viable alternative to home compost mixture, but ensure that you are using softer woods which break faster, like redwood or pine. Mulch, compost or fertilizer, ensure that they are all mixed well.
Gardening Tip #3: After the soil is prepared, just lay the plants on the soil to see how your garden would finally look. I believe that plants having similar characteristics should be planted together. For instance, all plants which have similar radius should be planted close to each other. Then have the taller plants in the back and the shorter ones in the front to maximize space; this makes it easy to see everything.
Gardening Tip #4: One of the most important points to remember is to water your garden regularly. Keeping up with it can be a big job depending on how big your house is. I recommend using an automatic watering system, as then the garden can grow on its own. Your automatic watering system can start from a huge sprinkling system to a small timer which is attached to the hose. Gardening is one of the most rewarding hobbies you can have and it can provide you with shade, beauty and more often then not food!
