1. Planting Techniques and Care

2. Soil Preparation Test your soil 🌱 Before planting, test your soil's pH level to ensure the best growing conditions for your plants. Amend your soil 🌿 Add organic matter like compost, leaves, or grass clippings to improve soil fertility, drainage, and texture . Avoid compaction 🚫 Avoid stepping on the soil as much as possible, or use boards to distribute your weight and prevent soil compaction.

3. Plant Selection Climate 🌡 Choose plants that are adapted to your climate, soil, and sun exposure to ensure their success . Care level 🌿 Choose plants that match your skills and available time for care. Some plants require more attention than others. Desired look 🌸 Choose plants that fit your desired garden style and color palette.

4. Planting Depth and Spacing 3 2 1 Depth 📏 Plant at a depth that is appropriate for each specific plant. Too deep or too shallow can harm their growth. Spacing 📐 Plants need space to grow and expand their roots. Follow the recommended spacing for each plant type. Grouping 🌈 Cluster plants in groups to maximize the impact of their colors and shapes. Vary the heights for visual interest.

5. Watering Techniques Timing ⌛ Water deeply and thoroughly, but less frequently. Early morning is the best time to avoid evaporation and fungal diseases. Amount 📈 Water enough to moisten the soil to the depth of the plant's roots. Use your finger to test the soil moisture level. Method 💧 Use a watering can, hose, or drip irrigation to apply water directly to the soil and avoid wetting the leaves. Avoid overhead watering. Conservation 🌍 Use rain barrels, mulch, or drought-tolerant plants to conserve water and reduce your water bill.

6. Fertilizing and Pruning Fertilizing 🌱 Fertilize your plants to provide extra nutrients for healthy growth. Choose the appropriate type and amount for each plant. Tools 🛠️ Use the right tools for the job, such as shears, loppers, or saws. Clean and sharpen them regularly to prevent damage to your plants. Pruning ✂️ Prune your plants to remove damaged or diseased parts, improve air circulation, and encourage new growth.

7. Effective Methods of Pest Control Pesticides are chemical compounds that are used to kill pests, including insects, rodents, fungi and unwanted plants (weeds ). Organic pesticides  usually come from natural sources and are minimally processed . Fumigation is a method of pest control or the removal of harmful microorganisms by completely filling an area with gaseous pesticides, or fumigants, to suffocate or poison the pests within.  Baiting are used to kill mice, rats, ants and cockroaches. The products are placed at the appropriate places; the animals eat some of the products and die.  T raps are a class of ex-farm add-ons that are very effective at countering herbivore insects. 

8. Seasonal Care Spring 🌸 Plant summer bulbs and dorm plants, prune shrubs and trees, control weeds, and mulch beds. Summer ☀ Water deeply and regularly, deadhead flowers, control pests and diseases, and harvest vegetables and fruits. Fall 🍂 Plant fall bulbs and perennials, remove annuals, rake leaves, and clean and store garden tools. Winter ❄ Protect sensitive plants, prune dormant trees and shrubs, feed birds, and plan for next year's garden.
