In this GARDEN WEB post, we'll teach you step-by-step how easy it is to grow your own edibles at home.
Do you want to have your own organically grown vegetables and fruits? If after much thought you have finally decided to have your own garden at home, today we are going to explain how to create it step by step so that it is easy, comfortable and simple.
Find a location in your home for your garden
First, we must determine where we are going to locate the garden, that is, whether it is a small plot of land or if we are going to opt for a pot garden. Once decided, if we are going to plant on land, we must clean it of all types of objects, stones, weeds… and we will aerate the soil with a rake.

If our option is the pot garden, we will take into account what we are going to plant to know what dimensions of pot we should choose. Remember that the roots must enjoy depth, width and enough space to grow and take hold.
Homemade compost or chemical fertilizer?
Secondly, we will consider whether we are going to make our own compost or if we will opt for other types of ready-made fertilizers or if we will choose chemical fertilizers. In all cases, it must be taken into account that what we plant we are going to consume and that everything we use must not affect or be harmful to our health.
Find out the pH and acidity of the soil you are going to use
Thirdly, we must know the acidity and pH of our soil and if it is suitable for what we are going to plant. Currently, there are many mixtures of substrates to regulate these aspects.
Buy irrigation materials to properly maintain your plants
Fourthly, we will have to be clear if we are going to have enough time to water whenever our garden requires it or if we are going to opt for an irrigation programmer or a hydroponic system.
In addition, as a small trick, we recommend that you water everything before planting so that the soil is slightly moist and it is easier for it to take hold and grip. If planting on land, it is also time to till the soil.
All you have to do is plant the seeds for your garden
Once all these steps have been completed, we will finally proceed to plant the seeds or plant the seedlings previously produced in the seedbeds. We will have to be clear about the planting calendar to know when to plant each thing and when to harvest.
