For many people gardening can be seen as a unique way to get rid of stress or as a way to get farm fresh ingredients in the kitchen, but for many people starting a garden can be seen as so confusing. Starting a garden has so many benefits and not just health ones, for example a neat way to have family bonding outdoors in the sunshine. The reality of starting a garden is actually way simpler than those non-green thumbs could even imagine. All it takes is a few simple steps and then you are on your way to having that farm fresh vegetables and fruits. Do not forget to buy some soil, plants, and digging tools but don't mind getting your hands a little dirty because everyone needs to have a green thumb.
The first step to starting your very first garden is probably one of the most important steps and that is to plan out what you are actually going to grow. Picking out what you are going to grow is one of the must enjoyable steps because this is what you are actually going to get to enjoy eating. There are some factors that go into deciding what to plant an important factor is the season some plants only do well in certain spans of the year. Along what which season it is, you need to look at what will grow well with the climate you live in. .
After you have chose which types of plants you are growing you need to decide where and what type of garden you are going to do. The easiest for the beginner is the raised bed. Raised beds can be made out of lumber, rock, or concrete blocks. These raised beds can also be purchased at any local garden store or hardware store. The bed needs to be raised at least 6 inches or more in order to allow the plants to get good draining away from the native soil. The biggest tip that many expert green thumbs will say is "start small", starting small allows you understand how much work goes into keeping up with a garden and also teaches you how to correctly plant.
