Tips for Veggie Garden Noobs

Why do you want to grow your own veggie garden? Is it because you want to be eco conscious? Are you perhaps feeling the influence of inflation? Maybe you’re stressed and all the self-care Tiktoks suggest spending time with your hands in the dirt?

All of the above are wonderful reasons to start your own veggie garden. But how, exactly, are you supposed to do that?

HOMEMAKERS has the definitive noob guide right here: Pick a Perfect Place

It is crucial to choose a decent site for your garden. Substandard vegetables come from a subpar location!

Since most veggies require 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day, pick a sunny location.

Because moist soil leads to wet roots, which can eventually decay, the region should drain efficiently.

It must be solid and wind-free. Avoid planting your young plants in areas where there are frequent strong winds that could topple them or prevent pollinators from doing their job.

Size Matters

Your beginner garden should be at least 10 square metres and no larger than 15 square metres. Pick 3 to 5 of your favourite vegetables and buy 3 to 5 plants of each one.

Noob Note: make sure that you have paths between the rows that allow you to access your plants to weed and harvest.

Choose a Cute Crop

Choose what you and your family will actually eat. Be realistic about how many vegetables your family will need.

Consider the availability of veggies at the shops and only plant what you can’t find for cheaper. Homegrown herbs are far less expensive than buying.
