The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Home Garden

Before you dive into planting veggies and other plants though, first read through our guide on creating a garden at home. Here’s everything you need to know about starting a residential garden.

Determine Your Gardening Goals

The first thing you want to do is determine what type of garden you want to grow. What are some of your gardening goals?

For example, do you want to grow a garden full of colorful flowers and plants that’ll support the bees and butterflies? Do you want to grow crops in your garden to supplement your own diet?

Think about what type of plants or crops you want to grow in your garden and then conduct some research. Will those specific plants grow well in your area’s climate? What’s required to grow a healthy garden with those plants?

Gain as much knowledge as possible before moving forward.

Select a Good Spot for the Garden

The place where you choose to grow your garden is a major factor. The best location will depend on what type of garden you want to grow. After conducting your research on the plants you intend to grow, you should learn how much sun, shade, and water these plants need.

Then, select the right spot so your plants can receive the right amount of sun or shade. You’ll also learn how much water these plants need and the ideal soil conditions.

Mix Together Healthy Soil

Head to a local nursery like this plant nursery and purchase your plants or seeds. Don’t hesitate to speak to a gardener at the nursery about any questions you might have. Then, be sure to grab a good soil mix.

Make sure to mix together soil that’s moist, warm, rich in organic matter, and well-drained. You can have the nursery test your soil to ensure it’s healthy before planting your garden.

Secure Your Garden from Predators

Keep in mind that when planting a garden, you’ll attract more than a few butterflies and insects. Critters love to nest in gardens and if you’re growing crops, then you’ll need to secure your garden from predators. You’re not the only one who thinks veggies and fruits are delicious!

You can secure your garden by installing a mesh wire fence around it. Be sure to place the fence deep enough into the soil to keep the burrowers out. You can also consider building a raised garden, which comes with several gardening benefits.

Are You Ready to Start a Home Garden?

You can become a pro gardener when you take the time to do your research and prepare a healthy home garden. Choose what you want to grow in your garden and research what’s required of those plants or crops. Pick an ideal location for your garden and use a healthy soil mix.

Keep it safe from predators and read our blog for more gardening tips!
