Advice

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.

  • Call it when you're tired. Getting one more thing checked off your garden "to do" seems more important than ever when you're tired, but you are also more likely to have an accident. Personal experience: I wanted to get just a few more forkfuls of manure spread before dark and put one fork tine neatly into the flesh of my foot. 'Tis but a flesh wound, but don't be me.

    • Youch 😕 Good advice, for sure. This applies to a lot of things outside of gardening as well.

      • Luckily, there are many stretchy sinews and a bone surfboard shaped thing in there, so the fork tine could not go that far. EDIT: typo
