Great tips!

Perennial plants normally only need watering the first year. In the summer perhaps once a week. Give them a good soak and let the soil dry out. Then they develop deep roots. The second year you don't have to water anymore.

Sharing crucial information about gardening could truly enrich our mind. Every gardeners aim for a productive crops, so these tips are so important. It is true that over-watering the plant can cause a bad effect because instead of making it grow, it will drown the plants and this will result to a very poor crop production and the worst thing it will die. These simple advises help me a lot!

Even simple tips are illustrated, it is still helpful. This video can be a reminder to those who are starting to grow their garden. Remember that a lot of us can still make mistakes while doing gardening works so it is better to be reminded all the time.

Crowding plants or spacing them out too much is a common mistake when planting flowers too. So, if you lack a lot of experience, look for plants sold in plant trays called Plant Pie, Muffin Trays or Plant Loafs, which take the guesswork out of plant spacing and plant groupings.

This is a good video, helpful to me. I am just starting my own garden, mainly herbs and vegetables, and got some good advice from this video. I found this very useful tool online for my garden, called Weed Killer Cane, very practical and useful. Just thought I'd pass it on - weedcaneDOTcom

garden area is also a great place to hide cash, wife and I grow massive garden, funny how locals beg for help, and I offer them food in my garden and they respond with can you bring it over. sad world we live in, every kid can play on the computer by the hour, but never ever grew a plant that produces food, nothing can go wrong with this world.
-
Another common mistake is pouring gasoline on the whole thing and lighting it on fire. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me.
-
Thanks for yet another great tip. I'm always willing to learn.

Great info!!

Good video...keep in mind Mother Nature doesn't water/rain every day. Check out my videos for Gardening tips.

There are no mistakes....only learning opportunities .

Your wisdom is evident, but hope you consider wild gourd tea, as it does not kill bugs but rather stop them from eating your crops. always test on one type of plant to make sure of no problems. but I have in my years found nothing better as a bug repellent for plants
-
the worst mistake is not to much water, as I use only rain water and save it till I need it. the worst mistake is using pesticides. I use a bug repellent for my plants. I use wild gourd leaves and make a tea to spray on my plants. Nothing in the bug world eats wild Gourd leaves so your plants are safe. donze52
