The best thing about starting a garden is that there are no rules. You are free to do what you like. Just make sure you follow some basic guidelines.

First, determine what type of garden design you want. Do you want a large garden or a small one? Are you looking for a large garden?

Next, you need to decide where your garden will be planted. Do you plan to use a container or will you plant in the ground? Or will the container be used to plant?

Once you have decided on the type of garden that you would like to create, you can start shopping for materials.

Also, think about how much space you have. If you live in a city apartment, you may not have room for a big garden.

After you have chosen the area where you want to plant your garden, you can begin. The first step is to prepare your area.

This is where you have to get rid of all weeds. Next, dig a hole to accommodate each plant. You need to make sure that the holes are deep enough for the roots to not touch the sides as they grow.

You can fill the holes with topsoil or compost. To retain moisture, add organic matter.

When you see new plant growth, fertilize them. Fertilizer encourages strong root systems. It also promotes faster growth.

Keep watering until the plants reach maturity. When this happens, harvest the fruits and enjoy!
