It is important to make sure that when you start gardening that you do more than plant the right items during the right season, first you must check your soil.
Does it have a good water retention (not sandy is it?), is it nutritious? In order to give our soil a higher water retention level and thereby increase our oxygen content we should dig it up, move it around so that it isn’t so highly compacted and allows air to flow much better. It also allows for easier movement of our roots that will soon be penetrating the soil. Next we need to incorporate what is referred to as organic matter. Organic matter is manure or store bought compost. It could also be your own home compost but more on that later. Bark chips and mulch can actually be used as organic matter and weed blockers! Exciting I know. Make sure to work this matter into your soil when you dig it up.
Remember plants are like people too, they need adequate food and water otherwise they will succumb to disease and will be unhealthy and/or die.
Give them the best chance to thrive in your presence.
