Planning, research, hard work,
and patience are all that is required to be a successful gardener. More than
anything else, you should be aware of common gardening mistakes made by
beginners which you should avoid.
Taking proper care of the
garden is all that matters once everything is planted. Different plants need to
be cared for in different ways, such as simple watering and pruning may be
suitable for some but may not work for other flowers or greens. Nasty weeds
need to be done away with so that they don’t infect your plants. Remember weeds
can take over and destroy the healthiest of plants. Although a good way out is
chemicals, but the fewer chemicals on your vegetables the better. Go for professional

Beginner gardening mistakes to
avoid:
Location- Before zeroing in on a
location, monitor your yard for a day or two and notice how the sunlight hits
the area you’re considering as most plants require adequate sun to thrive. If a
big tree casts a shadow over the area for most of the day, it’s probably not the
right spot to start planning, which means you need to put a lot of thought
about the location of your garden. It’s also advisable to call your utility
company before digging just to ensure safety as roots from large trees (when
you plant a seed) might go deep into the earth as the tree grows which could
interact with underground piping or wiring.
Soil Conditions- All soil
isn’t suitable for planting which highlights the importance of checking the
soil in getting the garden up and running. Scoop up some soil from the proposed
garden area and get it analyzed at a soil conservation office to find out what
is in the soil, which in turn will enable you to determine what may be needed
to enhance the properties of the soil and as you till the ground; fertilizer,
or whatever nutrients desired, can be tilled and added to the soil.
Security- Most people neglect this
important consideration. When it comes to security, don’t wait until the plants
start to appear (it may be too late) as it is just a matter of a few seconds
for a predator to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Just a simple enclosure can
work wonders for keeping your plants safe from pests and other animals.
