• Mulch Magic: Mulching around plants helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

• Companion Planting: Some plants grow better together. For example, basil can repel pests from tomatoes, promoting healthier growth.

• Natural Pest Deterrents: Plants like marigolds and lavender can naturally repel pests, keeping your garden safe without chemicals.

• Pruning Timing: The best time to prune most plants is late winter or early spring when they're dormant. This ensures healthy growth in the new season.

• Healthy Soil: Regularly test your soil's pH and nutrient levels to ensure it's in the best condition for your plants.

• Plant Rotation: Rotating your crops each season can prevent soil depletion and reduce pest and disease problems.

• Seed Saving: Save seeds from your healthiest plants for next season. It's a cost-effective way to grow your garden.
