Gardening is one of the UK's popular pastimes as it offers several benefits like increased vitamin D levels, a boost in mood and mental health, physical strength, balance and cardiac health.
When starting small in gardening, you can learn from mistakes, build your skills, avoid feeling overwhelmed and make more out of your gardening experience.
You should firstly understand your garden's aspects, such as soil type or sun exposure, before venturing into more complex gardening projects and feeling more confident.
Plan your garden layout, consider putting different plants, fruits and veggies in the right places to help them thrive better.
To make the gardening experience much easier, it is important to have the right gardening tools, such as a trowel, gloves, watering can, rake, and shears.
Water your garden often, and soak the root ball every week instead of the leaves or flowers every couple of days to encourage growth and health.
Understand which plants need more watering and feeding schedules, feed your flowers every two weeks, and implement pest control to protect your budding garden.
With patience, your gardening skills and knowledge will grow, and you will be able to achieve a perfect garden.
Starting small and building your skills will result in a new hobby that you will be proud of and enjoy day after day.
