The Basics of Gardening

Every garden starts with the basics, and it never hurts to return to them now and then. Here we talk about soil, water, light, and plant care. Useful if you are just starting out, and just as useful if you want a quick refresher.

Seeds & Sowing 

Sowing seeds is one of the most hopeful moments in gardening. In this section we share what we have learned about when to sow, how deep, how far apart, and why sometimes the best thing to do is simply wait and trust the process.

Seasonal Guides

The garden has its own rhythm, and what to do in the garden changes with every season. These guides help keep track of what needs attention now and what can wait a little longer.

Pest & Disease Control

Sooner or later, something will nibble on your plants. Even meet a few uninvited guests. Here we look at pests and diseases calmly and sensibly, learning how to recognise them and what steps make sense without reaching for solutions we don’t really need.

Soil & Fertilizers

Good gardens are built from the ground up. Here we talk about soil and fertilizers in a practical way, focusing on healthy plants and steady growth. We cannot build without foundation.

Tools & Techniques

In this section we share tools and techniques that make garden work easier on the body and kinder on the mood, with a few small tricks picked up along the way.

Experiments & Tests

Sometimes curiosity takes over and we try things just to see what happens. This is where we write down our garden experiments, comparisons, and tests, including the lessons learned when things don’t go quite as planned.

Videos

Some things are easier to show than to explain. These videos are filmed in our own garden, with changing weather, muddy hands, and all the small details that make gardening what it is.

Workshops

Gardening is better when we do it together. This section shares information about workshops and hands on sessions where we learn, talk, laugh, and exchange experience.
