Basic Gardening Tips

■ Add top soil to existing soil. Alternatively, Macro Grow nutrient, which can be purchased from a farm store, may be used.

■ When purchasing plants, find out if they need full sun or shade. Also, find out what kind of soil they grow best in.

■ Read labels of sprays and plant food carefully and follow the instructions.

■ Don’t water plants at nights as the extended moisture during the night will encourage insects. Instead, water plants early in morning

■ Don’t plant trees such as Ficus near to the house as they have the potential to get big. Also, they pose a danger to the house resulting in the roots damaging the walls, during a hurricane.
