Basic Home Gardening Tips & Tricks

I gathered up some basic home gardening tips and tricks to help with this year’s vegetable garden as well as your garden beds and thought I would share them with you!

When I first started out I considered myself a beginner gardener, of course.  I had tried my hand at growing a couple of garden plants but I had a little better luck in the house with ivy and even a few rose bushes outside.  

But, as far as knowing anything about Home Gardening or how to plant a veggie garden, I had not attempted those.

Hubby was contacted by a company to build a raised bed and use their mulch to start it.  So, we jumped in and gave it a shot.  We learned many things about vegetable gardening last year and I am sure we’ll learn many more this year.

This list has some of the best advice for beginner gardeners. You don’t even need a green thumb to start. And if you’re wondering when the right time to start your successful gardening is, it’s better to get a head start on learning all you can now.

Here are a few topics we’ll cover here and elsewhere on the blog:

  • Variety of reasons why you need beneficial insects
  • Plant tags / plant labels for your different plants
  • Raised beds vs an in ground plants garden
  • What if you have a small garden instead of a large garden and how much is enough room
  • Beginning gardener tips on how to achieve new growth for your different types of plants and vegetable plants
  • The easiest way to use wood chips so you don’t have to pull weeds
  • The best way to handle your healthy plant if it has water loss
  • Organic garden or chemical fertilizers for a variety of plants
  • What are the right plants to grow herbs to freeze and use all year
  • How organic matter and organic material can give you some of the best results for your fertile soil
  • Soil type and ph level

I hope that these tips bring success and provide you with all your plant needs for the new gardeners out there. Even if this isn’t your first garden these are still very helpful vegetable gardening tips.
