How To
How to start gardening
Gardening is one form of agriculture that dates back to the beginning. It requires patience, persistence and determination. First, choose a place where you would like to grow food. You could choose to plant food on a large parcel of land, or in your own backyard. Next, decide what type of plants you want to grow. Do you prefer vegetables, or flowers? Some people are passionate about growing herbs, while others like raising livestock like rabbits. Before you decide on the type of crops you want to plant, it is important to consider the space available. If you live in a region that experiences cold winters then it is possible to grow fruits and berries.
After you have decided what you want to plant, it is important that you prepare the soil. The soil is crucial in determining whether your plants thrive or not. A good soil has organic matter which helps to feed the roots of your plants. Organic matter can include leaves, twigs and grass clippings as well as manure and compost. After you have prepared your soil you must add nutrients. You might need different amounts, depending on the species of plants that you want to grow. To determine these values, you can use a fertilizer calculator online. Many fertilizers are on offer, so make sure that you know which one you are buying.
After preparing your soil and adding the proper nutrients, you now need to wait until your seeds germinate. The process can take between 2 and 3 months depending on how hot or cold it is in your region. Once the seeds have sprouted you will need to water them often. Too much or too little water can cause problems. Avoid overwatering your plants. Overwatering can cause root rot or fungal diseases. It is important to remember that plants will need less water in summer than in winter when watering them. Some plants must be dried out after being watered. For example, tomatoes need to stay slightly moist but not wet. Soggy soil is not a good choice for tomatoes. After plants finish flowering, they need to go dormant. When plants stop producing new growth, they go dormant and start storing energy for next season's harvest. The plant ceases sending signals to its roots to produce food during dormancy. Throughout this time, plants can store energy. However, if the temperatures drop below freezing and there isn't enough sunlight, the plant will go to sleep.
If you live in an urban environment, you may find yourself limited in the kinds of plants that you can grow. Concrete sidewalks, roads or parking lots can block sunlight from reaching urban areas. Concrete absorbs sunlight and blocks the soil below from receiving adequate sun exposure. This is why many plants cannot thrive in cities. Fortunately, there are still many plants that can thrive in an urban environment. Many trees, shrubs, and perennials can adapt to city living. Many annuals are also possible to grow indoors in containers. You can grow fresh greenery year-round in containers.
You're now ready to plant after you have chosen where and what to grow in your garden.
