Starting backyard gardening can be a fun journey for beginners in India.
You can easily grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs at your home.
That much is enough whether you have a big patio or just a small balcony.
Aim for a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day, ensuring optimal conditions for plant growth.
While preparing the soil, it is necessary to add manure and vermicompost to improve its structure and fertility.
Select plants like peas, okra, spinach, chili, coriander, mint, and curry leaves that thrive in the growing conditions.
If space is limited, consider container gardening. Use pots, grow bags, or recycled containers..
Sow seeds directly into the soil or start plants purchased from a nursery. Ensure proper spacing between plants.
Water your plants deeply regularly, especially during dry weather.
Add a layer of organic mulch, such as dry leaves, grass clippings, or straw, around your plants to retain moisture.
Keep an eye on garden pests like aphids, and caterpillars. Spray neem oil to control pests.
Regularly feed your plants with organic fertilizers like cow dung manure or vermicompost.
