Basics of gardening

Before  starting gardening there
are some basics of gardening :

  • Choose a right spot :
First you should choose a right spot which receives 5-6 hours of sunlight . By choosing sunny area for gardening as the sunlight is very important to plants for their healthy growth of the plant . 
Also ensure that your area for growing plants receives the flow of  wind or air . It should help pollinators to pollinate buds . 

  • Requirement of soil :
Plants always well grown in nutrient rich soil . You can easily identify which soil is benefecial for plants . By pressing soil in your hand , then throw it from the height of 1 ft. , if the ball made by pressing it with hand is crumbled into tiny pieces . This identitfies your soil is good for growing plants if not than your soil is not good for plants . 
IF you know about your soil then rejuvinate your soil . Nutrient rich and welldrained soil is best for your plants . 

  • Choose a right pot :
People may often confused which pot is best for growing plants . Terracotta pot is one of the best pot for growing plants in it . You can easily buy it from potters or even online is also available . The terracotta pot made from the clayey soil which is the special soil used by potters . The benefits of terracotta pot is terracottas pour nature allow for air and water to move through the walls and prevents soil disease and root rot . I can also tell you about the plants disease in my upcoming post . 

  • Tools that is necessary for gardening :


1. Shovel  ( khurpi ) 


This is the hand shovel which is very useful in gardening . It is a tool used for digging , scopping and mooving soil . It is also used for transplanting seedlings and planting bulbs . A hand shovel is very common tool that could be seen in every house . It is not a costly tool . You can buy from amazon and easily available at your town's hardware or other shop

2. Hand cultivator 

The hand cultivator is the tool which is used to cultivate soil , remove weeds . By raking on the soil it can soften the soil and allows the air to pass through the soil . You can use this hand cultivator in vegetable garden , flower pots ,  small piece of land and other . We recommend you that you should buy a handle made with wood because if you buy plastic handles and you work with it can leads to ore in your hand while , wooden handles allows you to easily work with it and doesnot cause any ore in your hand .  You can buy from amazon and easily available at your town's hardware or other shop . 

3. Weeding shovel

It helps to remove weeds or undiderable plants that can grow in our garden or land where we do agriculture . It is a manual tool which works with our hand . I recommend you that use wooden handle tools for gardening either using plastic handles . This shovel or khurpi can easily available on amazon , flipkart or nearby hardware store . 

4. Gloves 


Gloves are the most important equipment that we use in gardening . There are some insects that harms our hand . To prevent the harm to our hands we wear gloves . But it is necessary to wear gloves when you are working with soil , fertilizing plants with organic or inorganic fertilisers . There are some many gloves which you have seen in agricultural or gardening store but , we need the gardening gloves which made from pvc . Maybe you can also buy these gloves made from rubber . 

5. Water Can 



  • Plants need water for regular intervals . Water can is the most basic thing which we use in gardening to water our plants . And keep our plants healthy . This watering can easily available in 10 l. , 5 l. , 1 l . You can easily transport water if you have water supply far from your garden . If you have water supply near you their is no requirement of water can . 
6. Buying of seeds



Some of the people don't know how to buy good quality of seeds . But now people became aware of poor quality of seeds . You should buy seeds which is packed in packets . Read the backside of seeds . If you are growing seeds for kitchen garden buy desi or organic seeds which is a little bit of costly than to the HYV seeds or chemical treated seeds . These seeds are not treated with chemical fungicide . You can treat organic or desi seeds with trichoderma viride . Trichoderma can easily available in online stires or nearly agricultural store . Add 2gram of trichoderma in seeds . Trichoderma is known as organic fungicide .
