Choosing the Right Location

Sunlight: Most plants need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Observe your garden area to identify a location with sufficient sunlight. Some shade-loving plants can also be grown in less sunny areas.

Soil: Loose, nutrient-rich soil is essential for plant growth. You can test the soil’s pH and add organic fertilizers or soil amendments if necessary.

Water: Choose a location that is easy to irrigate and has good drainage. Avoid areas with waterlogging, which will cause root rot.

Preparing the Soil and Planting

Clean the soil: Remove weeds, stones, and other obstacles from the planting area.

Till the soil: Till the soil to make it loose and airy, helping the roots to develop easily. You can use a hoe or a tiller depending on the garden size.

Fertilize: Apply organic fertilizer or biofertilizer to provide nutrients to the soil.

Planting: Dig holes of appropriate size for each plant. Plant the seedlings in the holes, cover with soil, and water gently.

Plant Care

Watering: Water regularly, ensuring the soil is always moist but not waterlogged. The frequency of watering depends on the type of plant, weather, and soil type.

Fertilizing: Fertilize periodically to provide nutrients to the plants. You can use organic fertilizer, biofertilizer, or chemical fertilizer.

Pest and disease control: Regularly inspect plants to detect pests and diseases. Use organic pest and disease control methods to protect the plants.

Pruning: Prune dry, wilted, or diseased branches and leaves to help the plants grow better.
