A healthy garden doesn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of consistent care and good habits.
Here are five essential tips to maintain your garden in top shape throughout the year:
- Feed the Soil, Not Just the Plants: Healthy soil is the foundation of every great garden. Use organic compost or mulch to enrich the soil with nutrients and retain moisture.
- Water Smartly: Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and fungal growth. Deep watering once or twice a week is better than frequent shallow watering.
- Choose Native Plants: Native species adapt better to local climates, require less water, and attract beneficial insects and pollinators.
- Control Weeds Regularly: Pull weeds before they flower. A thick layer of mulch also helps prevent their growth.
- Rotate and Prune: Rotate plant locations seasonally and prune regularly to encourage new growth and airflow.
