How to Plant a Garden

Planting, a successful garden, can be a very rewarding experience. Whether you are trying to grow plants, flowers or vegetables, purchasing seeds is the first step. Secondly, you would have to find a place in your yard that has constant sunshine at least six hours out of the day. There are also varieties of plants and flowers that will flourish in total shade.

Having soil that is rich in nutrients is very essential because it is much more than ordinary dirt. Soil can be tested in a number of ways, but the easiest and least expensive way is to buy a soil test kit at a local garden store. Preparing the soil is done by digging and mixing it up to about two feet down. On the back of the seed package, there should be instructions on how to plant them.

Watering the garden properly is a very important for its overall health. An over or under amount of water can be harmful so give it a thorough soaking during the morning hours every few days. Fertilizers that include nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be very beneficial to help the garden grow well. Following these procedures should allow you to enjoy your garden for years to come.
