A 3-part series
Garden Starter
Growing food, composting, and turning a patch of dirt into something useful.
We killed a lot of plants before we figured this out. Overwatered, underwatered, planted in the wrong season, gave up too early. Gardening looks simple from the outside, but there are a few things nobody tells beginners that make the difference between a thriving garden and a pile of dead seedlings. This series covers the basics of starting a garden and building the soil to support it.
