I thought this would be a fun but useful post.

If you had one piece of advice for gardening, what would it be? Like that one thing your discovered or learned that to your results to the next level.

Mine: Mulch your fruit trees well. This will help retain moisture and also keep grass and weeds from popping up which could compete with the tree for nutrients.

    To build on this, just because something didn’t work one year, don’t give up on it entirely! Tweak something and try again. I had a terrible year last year with one of my dwarf tomato breeds, but this year they’re doing great because I kept them warmer as seedlings. Similarly my cilantro that never took off last year is going strong this year due to more watering.

    Gardening is a learning process. Embrace what works for you and change what doesn’t.

    Also I’d never heard of aeroponics but that is super cool!

      Embrace the failures, sometimes it’s a learning experience, other times you did nothing wrong and it still didn’t work. You still learned something if you want to spin it, which could be that failures can happen in a perfect situations sometimes. Or you forgot to sterilize your scissors once.

      Let’s learn!
