Best Resources & Tips for Growing a Truly Bountiful Garden
If you’re looking to get your own garden started, you should know that growing a healthy and productive garden doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need to have the right gardening tips and know-how to make sure you have the right setup, along with the right plants and the right routine for taking care of your plants.
If you’re not sure where to begin, these helpful resources will come in handy.
Starting Your New Garden
The key to helping a garden flourish is to get it off to the right start, so use these resources:
- Prep the soil in your new garden using a high quality fertilizer and a few basic tools. When using VermisTerra, you can reduce the amount of other fertilizers by 50-70%.
- VermisTerra is a perfect choice when you want to grow a safe and organic garden.
- Irrigation is also important, consider options like spray or rotor sprinkler systems.
- But you will also want to look for ways to conserve water with your garden. Earthworm castings help your soil with water retention.
- Flow control valves can save water and prevent overwatering, just verify you have the right kind for your situation.
Choosing Your New Plants
You can also ensure success by picking the right plants, so be sure to think about these tips:
- How much space you have and whether you will be using containers. We recommend using VermisTerra coco coir with chips mixed with earthworm castings to make your own potting mix.
- Even in a small interior, you can grow several edible plants.
- But you can also make the most of a small space by using trellises to grow veggies.
- Choosing complimentary plants will also help keep your garden healthy and vibrant.
- For instance, planting flowers with herbs and veggies is a great way to attract pollinators. VermisTerra is safe on pollinators and the environment.
Keeping Your Garden Healthy
Once your seeds are planted, a little care can go a long way. So keep these tips in mind:
- Watering at the right times and intervals is crucial for maximizing your yields.
- An irrigation system can make watering easier but also consider using timers.
- Scorching summer temps can damage plants so make sure yours are protected. Earthworm castings help plants better handle extreme temperatures.
- But colder weather can also damage vegetables, so also know when to harvest.
- You can also add certain plants to extend the life of your garden into the winter.
You don’t have to feel anxious or stressed about growing your first garden, especially when you use VermisTerra products to help you get off to a great start. Just get out in your yard and start working out that green thumb! Before you know it, you will have more food than you know what to do with.
