Some Ways To Make Sure You Start Your Garden Right If you want to be a successful gardener, you have to keep a few things in mind. Here you will learn some of those things so that you can have a garden that you're proud of that lasts a long time. You have to be aware of how much you need to water your plants. Not watering them enough will kill them, but so will watering them too much. Do your research on your plants. If they are outside plants or don't have any cover and it has rained then you may want to hold off on your regular watering schedule for a while. A lot of knowing how much to water a plant has to do with the climate and the size of the plant. Certain plants just naturally grow from whatever moisture is in the soil because they're used to that kind of landscape. Sometimes a larger plant can store water up because it's used to living in drought- like conditions. Whatever the case may be, do your research on the plant and where it grows best so that you can water it accordingly. A plant can have too much sun. It also can have too little sun. Figure out where the plant you're planting grows wildly and study the climate. If you notice that there is too much sun you may want to figure out a way to control its exposure with some kind of shade. If it's not getting enough sun then you may want to move it, or maybe grow it inside where you can control lighting. If your plant doesn't have the right amount of space then it could die. Even though a plant may seem to fit in the spot you've chosen for it, its root system could be a lot larger than you think. If it doesn't have the right amount of space then it cannot get the right nutrients and could die. Read up on the plant and how much space it takes to grow. You don't want it taking nutrients from other plants either so pick your plant's spot carefully. Remember that some plants need to be planted at different times. You cannot plant things in the winter that only grow well in the summer. If you aren't getting the right kind of results when you're planting something, read up on when the plant does its best.
