Understanding your USDA hardiness zone helps you choose plants that will thrive in your local climate and plan planting dates that align with your frost windows.
Deep, infrequent watering encourages roots to grow downward, resulting in more drought-tolerant plants. Aim for 1 to 2 inches of water per week, including rainfall.
A 3-inch layer of organic mulch conserves soil moisture, suppresses weeds, moderates soil temperature, and gradually improves soil structure as it breaks down.
Track how sunlight moves across your garden through the day and season. Most vegetables need 6 or more hours of direct sun. Mismatching plants to light conditions is the most common gardening mistake.
Not every insect in your garden is a pest. Many are beneficial pollinators or predators of harmful insects. Always identify the pest or disease before applying any treatment.
