A-Z Gardening Guide for Beginners

Choosing Location and Soil Type

The first and most important step is choosing a suitable location for your garden. Consider the amount of sunlight, humidity, and soil type. Good soil is the foundation for a thriving garden. You can test your soil’s pH and add necessary nutrients if needed. If the soil is too dry, you need to add organic matter such as well-rotted manure to improve its structure.

You should thoroughly research plant types that are easy to grow and suitable for the light, temperature, and humidity conditions in your area. If you are a beginner, choose plants that are easy to care for and have good tolerance.
