1. Choose the Right Plants

Select plants suited to your climate zone and soil conditions. Native plants are often the best choice for low maintenance and high resilience.

2. Prepare Your Soil

Test your soil’s pH and nutrient levels. Improve its structure and fertility with organic matter like compost or manure.

3. Water Wisely

Water deeply and less frequently to encourage deep root growth. Early morning watering is best. Consider a drip irrigation system to conserve water

4. Use Mulch

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

5. Fertilize Properly

Use organic fertilizers and follow the package instructions. Adjust based on your plants’ specific needs.

6. Manage Pests Naturally

Use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to control pests. Encourage beneficial insects and inspect plants regularly.
