Gardening Guide for Beginners

Choosing a Location and Preparing the Soil

The first and most important step is choosing a suitable location for your garden. Plants need enough sunlight (depending on the type of plant), and the soil needs good drainage. Good soil is the foundation of a successful garden. You should check the soil pH and add organic matter such as well-rotted manure or compost to improve fertility.

Choosing Plants

Choose plants that are suitable for the climate and soil conditions in your area. If you are a beginner, choose easy-to-grow and care for plants such as water spinach, mustard greens, or sunflowers. Learn about the light, water, and nutrient needs of each plant to plan appropriate care.

Preparing Gardening Tools

You will need some basic tools such as a shovel, hoe, rake, watering can, pots or seed trays. Depending on the type of plant, you may need additional tools such as pruning shears, leaf trimmers, etc.

Planting

Sowing seeds: For plants grown from seeds, you need to sow seeds into well-prepared soil, ensuring the correct depth and spacing. Planting seedlings: For seedlings, be careful when lifting the plants from the soil to avoid damaging the roots. Plant the seedlings into the prepared holes, fill the soil and water gently.

Plant Care

Plant care is an ongoing process. You need to regularly water, fertilize and weed to keep your plants healthy. Observe your plants regularly to detect and promptly address problems such as pests, nutrient deficiencies, or diseases.

Harvesting

When the plants have matured and produced fruit or flowers, you can harvest. Harvest at the right time to ensure product quality.
