Pick the Right Place

Before setting up your garden, you have to start by picking the right site for the project. Remember, out of sight stays out of mind. Most gardeners prefer to position their project in the part of the yard where they can see the garden more often. Let it be the first thing you see when you wake up.

Sunlight Is Essential

While picking the right site, you must also consider the relationship between the sun and your yard. Make sure you study the exposure of your compound to the sun. You want your plants to get enough of the sun throughout the day.

Set Up Closer to Water Source

Nevertheless, without adequate water, most gardens do not flourish. The best decision when starting your garden is to ensure you are close to a reliable water source. This will make the whole process much easier. Trust me; having to fetch water far away every day will ruin your gardening mood.

Is Your Soil Fertile?

However, this always depends heavily on the type of plants you are planning to have in your garden. That brings us to our last gardening tips…
