Do you Want To Be a Gardener? Follow These Instructions!

By Amy Mcfurlong


The internet is chock full of information on gardening hints and tips that are published to help people who are not experienced with growing plants and flowers. In fact, there are tons of articles for gardeners who have been growing gardens for years. After all, even world famous gardeners like to keep up with the latest developments in gardening. As a new gardener you probably have a lot of assumptions on how growing a garden is supposed to work.

As you work at learning how to embrace your green thumb, you are probably going to come across a lot of contradictory advice. Learning which advice is good and which advice is not as good can take some time. Here are some hints and tricks that every new gardener should know.

In addition to keeping the soil moist for your plants the mulch also helps to regulate the temperature of the soil. One of the biggest reasons that mulch is popular is that it is very cheap and far less expensive than "regular" fertilizers. Mulch can work just as well as other garden tools but won't cost so much. Figure out how to tell a weed apart from a plant you want to grow. Lots of new gardeners tend to think that weeds are going to look much different than their chosen garden plants. The truth is that the two often look very much alike. You might end up destroying your garden by accident before you realize your mistake! Learn how to identify the differences between weeds and your chosen plants. This will save your garden later on.

Using compost is a great way to enhance the health of your garden. You can do your own composting-you don't need anything special to do it.

A lot of people think that gardening is an intricate process. If you haven't ever grown plants before, starting a garden of your very own can feel intimidating and it is easy to tell yourself that you'd rather do something else. If you can find the right tips, though, beginning your first garden won't feel so intimidating. The fact of the matter is that, if you are willing to do the work, there is no reason that you shouldn't have your very own thriving garden!
