Care For A Traditional In-Ground Garden
BUILD A LASTING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR TRADITIONAL IN-GROUND GARDEN BY PROVIDING REGULAR CARE AND LOVE TO YOUR PLANTS.
You've planted your first in-ground garden, and it's already up and growing.
Congratulations! Now that the heavy lifting is done, it's all about routine maintenance. Taking care of your in-ground garden regularly will keep your plants and soil at their best.
Don't worry, tending to an in-ground bed can be easy. Just set aside a few minutes each day to address these essential steps.
Take a stroll through your garden. It's important to take time to admire your garden. You've earned it! Check the stems and leaves for steady growth and uniform coloration. Press your fingers into the soil to see if it's dry.
Look under the leaves for pests that might be trying to hide. Make a list of anything you want to dedicate more time to later.
Water dry soil. Like us, plants won't last long without water. A slow, low approach that saturates the base of your plants is also a safe way to reach the roots.
Also, on a hot day, water sprayed from above can evaporate before reaching our thirsty friends below. Water in the morning, if possible, to help moisture settle deep into the soil before the sun shines brighter.
Keep your plants well-fed. Growing plants absorb nutrients from the soil, so it's necessary to give back what they take. Every 3 months, you can use homemade compost, but make sure it's fully decomposed for better results. Essential soil nutrients promote strong root growth, resulting in beautiful plants, fuller foliage, and a bountiful harvest.
Clean up the mess. Remove dead plants, brown leaves, weeds, and other debris like sticks and grass that may accumulate over time. Keep the soil evenly distributed and away from plant stems, and make sure your plants have enough space to breathe and grow. Well, we all like our space, even plants.
Now that you know how to care for your garden, you'll be able to give your plants all the love and attention they deserve. Before you know it, they'll reward you with a plentiful harvest of vegetables and herbs to harvest, flowers to stop and smell, or perhaps a bit of both!
