By Harvey Q. Xavier


Planting your own garden should be enjoyable and certainly shouldn't be stressful. Due to this we will look at tips that will make it more enjoyable for you and get rid of lots of the stress.

Do Not Overlook Your Pet: Many folks have the silly idea that your pet will not get along with your garden, this is inaccurate. It just calls for some resourceful thinking. When preparing to put your garden in; remember what provisions need to be made to accommodate your pet. When your pet uses your yard to relieve themselves, this will cause brown spots because of the nitrogen. You can keep this from happening by spraying the area with water or sprinkling with gypsum. The feces can simply be chucked in with the waste or shoveled up. However, don't make the mistake of putting it on a compost pile since it pets eat meat and their waste does not qualify as a healthy fertilizer. Remember that your pets will need water to drink and some shade, so take these factors into consideration when designing your garden.

It might seem stupid to state this but plants need light. Some plants might need more light than others, but they all need some. For example, growing mushrooms inside a shed is possible as they only need a small amount of light, whereas daisies need a good amount of sunshine. This basically means that how much light enters your yard, and the angles in which it enters, will determine where you can plant things and what you can plant. Throughout the day the plant's foliage must receive adequate sunlight from various positions, as light is one of the key things for plants to create energy. So you need to get the right types of plants in accordance with the lighting conditions in your yard, which is a fairly easy task as they have labels on.

You don't have to only grow pretty flowers in your garden, you can also grow vegetables. All it takes is one packet of seeds, good soil, moisture and plenty of sun and you can grow your own vegetables. It can certainly be a very fun and rewarding experience to grow your own vegetables, and harvesting them is very satisfying. But growing vegetables might seem a little complex at first, as they must start off indoors and then be moved outside where insects can trouble them. Don't worry though as starting off with something small and moving up is the best thing to do. Saving money may not always be possible by growing your own produce, but that isn't what it's about anyway. It should be about having the best quality and freshest possible produce on your table. It doesn't get much fresher than straight from your garden.

It is well worth the effort to create an amazing garden. You simply need to take a deep breath and remember to enjoy the process since gardening is supposed to be a pleasant hobby and not a chore.

Doing any kind of do it yourself can take a lot more gear than you think. For example, lots of people discover that they need to rent a compact truck to carry all their equipment around. You will find that getting a temporary rental truck can help profoundly.
