Smart Gardeners Plan First

Writen by Basil Cyndinar

In the end of the winter, people dust off their trowels and take out the gloves, getting ready for another gardening season. This year it will be different. You'll have beautiful flowers, a fantastic display of colors and all your neighbors will pause in your front lawn to admire your garden. Does it have to be a wish? In fact, you could start your garden at any time and have a beautiful garden to enjoy all year long.

The only prerequisite is planning and preparation work and you'll have the garden you are dreaming about. One important step that some people tend to forget is that you have to plan the right garden for you.

Measure out the space you have set up as the garden area and check out the following parameters.

a) What is the soil like, what additional fertilizer you need, will it be organic? Which type? Worm castings, seaweed, pet safe fertilizer?

b) Does your plot get enough light? How is the irrigation system? Do you have to repair any leaks? Check the batteries of the system. It doesn't matter whether your area has the best of all of this. Some plants need tough soil, not a lot of sunlight and little water. You just need to be aware and plan of this, as you will want to pick plants that are suitable to your environment and conditions. One tip I highly recommend is to add worms in your garden. Check out with your local supplier if he has deliver-ready cocoons. Whatever you will grow with earthworm castings will be as it use to be and if you are planning to grow some vegetables the aroma will be magic.

Get some advice at your local greenhouse about setting up a garden you like. They can offer directions as to how to structure your garden and to put out your plants so you get to enjoy. Among your first priorities is to take care of them easily. Some plants are more easy to grow than others.

It only takes a little bit of preparation work and a little of help from the experts and you'll have the garden you always dreamed of.
