Plan Your Garden Type
Before you buy all the essentials you need for your garden, decide what type of garden you’d like to have.
Understand your space and keep sun exposure in mind when determining where you’d like to position your plants, pots, or balcony boxes.
Determine the type, size and placement of your garden and keep in mind most fruit, vegetables and herbs require full sun – six or more hours of sunshine a day.
Create a vertical garden and save space by growing your plants on trellises, garden shelves, hanging boxes and more. Plus, use good quality soil and fertilizer and water regularly as soil dries quicker in small containers.
Finally, make watering easy and efficient and consider soaker hoses and timers for in-ground plants. Be sure to water early in the day to reduce loss to evaporation.
