Producer: Priyanka Das
Choose the Right Location:
Ensure your garden gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
Proper Soil Preparation:
Use well-draining soil enriched with compost for optimal plant growth.
Watering Consistently:
Water plants regularly, aiming for the soil to remain consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Mulching:
Apply mulch to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature.
Rotate Crops:
Prevent soil-borne diseases by rotating crops in different locations each season.
Pruning and Thinning:
Regularly prune plants and thin crowded areas to improve air circulation and prevent disease.
Pest Control:
Monitor for pests and use organic methods like neem oil or companion planting to control infestations.
Staking and Support:
Provide support for tall or heavy plants to prevent them from bending or breaking.
