In this episode, I share my top five time-saving tips to elevate your organic gardening skills. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned pro, these strategies will help you make the most of your gardening efforts.
1. Use a garden planner: A garden planner can help you keep track of so many details of your garden, such as mapping out your garden beds, planning your planting schedule, and keeping track of important tasks.
2. Use mulch: Mulch helps retain moisture in the soil, which means less watering for you. It also blocks sunlight from reaching the soil surface, which means fewer weeds for you to pull.
3. Stick to low-maintenance plants: Choosing plants that are relatively pest and disease resistant or don't need a lot of attention from you can save you time. Some examples include herbs, summer veggies, and annual flowers.
4. Use drip irrigation: Drip irrigation systems deliver water right to your plants' roots, reducing water waste and the need for frequent watering.
5. Use companion planting: Companion planting can help you save space, reduce weeding, and group plants together based on their needs, making watering and care easier.
