If you’re planning to start a garden but have no idea where and how to start it, you’re reading the right post. In this post we’ll tell you the first 5 steps that you should take to start a beautiful garden. Let’s go through the steps:

1.    Get an idea

Do you want to grow vegetables, flowers or herbs? If flowers, do you want annuals or perennials? Before you start your garden, it is important for you to have answers to all these questions. Growing annuals will have longer bloom time compared to the perennials, but you’ll need to replant each year. On the other hand, perennials will come back year after year with shorter bloom time. You can use beautiful garden pots and planters for growing them to give your garden an eye-catching look.

2.    Pick a proper place

No matter whether you grow vegetables or flowers, they need adequate sunlight and water for proper growth. So choose the space correctly. Even if you opt for container gardening, make sure that the pots are placed at the right place.

Different plants will require different amount of sunlight and so before you choose the place, decide on the plants you want to grow. If you have no idea, you can visit a local garden centre and ask the staff about the amount of sunlight the plants require.

3.    Clear the ground

To help the plants grow better, you need to get rid of the sod in your ground. So clear the ground properly. You can dig it out for quick results, but it will be easier for you to smother it using newspaper. Use a thick layer of newspaper and spread it with 3-inch layer of compost on the paper. Then wait until the paper and compost decomposes to start planting. Before you choose your plants, buy garden pots and planters to pick a suitable plant for each pot.

4.    Improve the soil

For healthy growth of the plants, the soil needs a boost. And to improve the soil, use organic matter such as decayed leaves, old manure, dry grass clippings etc. You can either dig organic matter into the soil or can leave it on the surface to let it work into the soil in a few months.

Following the above tips will help you create a successful and beautiful garden. There are a number of designer garden pots and planters that you can grow your plants in to make them look beautiful.
