What is the most important thing to do before you start a new garden?

When beginning a garden, the first thing to do is to prepare the soil. This involves adding organic matter, such as composted soil, grass clippings and leaves, straw or other material, to help provide nutrients for the plants. Next, place seeds or seedlings in prepared holes. Finally, water thoroughly.


How long can I keep an indoor plant alive?

Are pots possible to grow fruit trees?
