Learn how to start your own garden!
Ever wanted to start your own garden, but didn’t even know where to begin? The questions can be overwhelming: What vegetables to plant? Where to plant? When to plant? How to plant? How often to water? How to keep bugs away? When to harvest? Etc..
Believe it or not, home gardening can actually be done, is not that hard if you have the right knowledge, and can be incredibly rewarding. There’s nothing more satisfying than successfully growing your own food, and I’d love to show you how I do it.
I don’t have a big garden, and I don’t have the most beautiful garden. But I can show you how somebody with just a tiny little empty square of a backyard can turn it into a lush landscape of vegetables and herbs.
Come see my garden, and learn from my mistakes (and successes) so that you can hit the ground running with your own garden. I’ll show you all the tricks of the trade, including how to install drip irrigation, your own home composting system, proper mulching and fertilizing techniques, crop rotation, pest control, and doing it all on a cheap budget!
