Gardening Tips For Beginners: Vegetables

For a great garden with a high yield, make sure that you are choosing the right location for your garden beds. You’ll want something that receives at least 6 hours of sun and then is partially shaded in the afternoon. Additionally, the PH levels in your soil are crucial. If these are even a little bit off, you might have a hard time growing what you wanted. Learn how to fix soil PH, and target other vegetable gardening problems in this article of mine.

Though it can be easiest to buy nursery plants if you are growing ornamental kale or large berry bushes, I like to do my vegetable gardening from seed. Here’s a list of the easiest vegetables to start from seed. It’s such a fun process to watch them sprout, too. So rewarding.

However, for those new to composting, you might have questions and concerns. For example, doesn’t a compost pile smell? Won’t it be full of bugs? I’ll answer both of those questions and more in this write up of mine on composting for beginners.

The gardening process isn’t that much different than normal vegetable gardening, you just need to purchase the right kinds of seeds and feed ONLY with compost. Don’t forget that you can’t use pest control methods either, but there are a few natural things you can do to save your crops in case of trouble. I will explain that and more here.
