Home gardening involves growing plants like fruits, vegetables, and herbs in the space surrounding a home. It provides food for one's family while also creating a habitat for birds and insects. To start a home garden, one should choose a spot that gets full sun, has access to water, prepare the soil by loosening compaction and adding compost, and then plant seeds or seedlings following instructions on sunlight and watering needs. Home gardening has benefits like food security, reduced carbon footprint, increased property value, stress reduction, and improved health.

Home Garden | Steps for
Home Gardening – A
Newbies Guide

10. 1.Start small.
Do not try to
create a massive
garden from day 1.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 8. Water the garden.
Water the entire
garden and allow some
time for the beds to
settle.

18. 9. Plant your new seeds.
Plant your new seeds
into the beds by following
the planting instructions
on the seed packet.
