What is
HOME GARDENING?
Home Gardening is the act of turning an
outside space into a productive and
functional area for the family, as well as a
home for plants and animals that have
otherwise lost their homes to urban
development.
Home gardening involves growing fruit,
vegetables and herbs for personal
consumption, as well as creating aesthetics
and diversity for bird and insect life with
attractive flower beds. Home gardening
requires gardening knowledge, ongoing
nurturing of plants, maintenance skills, and
consistent improvement.
How to Start Your First
Home Garden | Steps for
Home Gardening – A
Newbies Guide
1.Start small.
Do not try to create
a massive garden from
day 1.
2. Finding the proper spot.
If you plan to grow
vegetables, you need to
choose a spot that gets
about 6 hours of full
sunshine every day.
3. Access to water.
Make sure that you have access
to water nearby. If you do not have
a tap that is right next to your
intended garden space, you will
need to invest in a long hose with a
control nozzle.
4. Preparing the soil.
If the soil is quite compacted,
you have your work cut out for
you. You should loosen the soil so
the plants can grow easily and so
that it also drains well. Till the soil
with a broad fork, a tiller, or a
regular digging fork.
5. Add organic compost.
Once the soil is loosened, put
in some organic compost.
Simply spread the compost on
the outer layer of your tilled
soil in the areas where you will
plant.
6. Create beds.
Create beds by digging the
soil from the intended pathways
and placing it in the areas
where you will plant. You can
build the beds up a few
centimeters.
7. Grading of the beds.
Now, you need to do a bit of grading
of the beds. A home garden bed needs to
be about 1m wide, unlike farm produce
rows, which seem to be much narrower.
A wide bed will allow your veggie
plant’s roots a lot more space to spread
and grow.
8. Water the garden.
Water the entire
garden and allow some
time for the beds to
settle.
9. Plant your new seeds.
Plant your new seeds
into the beds by following
the planting instructions
on the seed packet.

Tips for Home
Gardening
•Keep your pathways weed-free by placing
cardboard along them, watering them heavily, and
then laying straw over them. This should keep
weed growth at bay.
•Begin with plants that are simple to grow.
•Create a watering and maintenance schedule to
ensure that you do not inadvertently neglect your
new growing plants.
• Consider making a DIY drip irrigation system to cut
back on water wastage and save money at the
same time.
• Educate yourself on each and every plant that you
choose to grow. The more you know, the better
care you can give your plants.
• Take pest control seriously.
• Have fun!
The glory of gardening: hands
in the dirt, head in the sun,
heart with nature. To nurture
a garden is to feed not just the
body, but the soul.
