What are some effective planting techniques for my garden?

There are several effective planting techniques, such as raised beds, companion planting, and crop rotation. Which one are you interested in?

Can you explain companion planting?

Companion planting involves growing different plants together for mutual benefits, like pest control and improved growth. For example, planting marigolds with tomatoes can deter pests.

What about raised beds? How do I start?

To start with raised beds, choose a sunny location, build a frame using wood or bricks, and fill it with quality soil. This method improves drainage and soil quality.

Are there any specific plants that grow well in raised beds?

Yes! Vegetables like lettuce, carrots, and peppers thrive in raised beds. Herbs like basil and cilantro also do well.

Thanks! Any tips for crop rotation?

Crop rotation involves changing the type of crops grown in a specific area each season to prevent soil depletion and reduce pests. A simple rotation could be legumes one year, followed by leafy greens the next.
