Neglecting proper soil preparation could hinder your success in vegetable gardening, according to Martha Stewart, potentially impeding your ability to excel at cultivating plants.
Cross the threshold into a delightful gardening journey with none other than Martha Stewart! Over a decade ago, the icon shared tips tailored for novice gardeners, and her wisdom still holds true today.
You might be eager to dive into a massive garden, but hold your horses! Martha's one piece of advice that could make the difference between a thriving oasis and a patch of sad plants: don't go overboard. Starting too big may sound tempting, but Martha warns that it leads to potential pitfalls. Instead, kick off your green adventure with a smaller plot—master the basics, and then expand at your own pace.
'The key to success lies in starting small. A smaller plot prepares you to truly grasp the art of growth. As you progress and learn, you can tackle larger spaces and dig deeper into more elaborate gardens,' she shared.
