Gardening 101🌱🍊🍊 My 14-Year Journey in Home Gardening 🍋🍋🌱 Essential Knowledge for Home Gardeners

Today I will give you some important information about some plants. I have a small home garden of 12 plants in my home garden. There are 12 plants of different types in my home garden. All the plants are fruitful and give very tasty fruits. But I want to share the experience I gained during home gardening with you all. First of all, if there is any empty space in your house that is not usable, then you can make a small home garden in your home. You can plant different types of plants in the home garden, considering the space available. If your yard is 40 feet by 40 feet or the area of ​​your yard is 40 by 40 feet or more, then you can plant large fruit-bearing plants in your yard. Now there are also such types of plants that are small in height, which occupy less space but still give more fruits. In this way, you can start gardening on a small scale in your area or in your home, keeping in mind the climatic conditions of your area. I started gardening at home about 14 years ago, but when I planted these plants, I faced many problems. The problems I saw were related to the growth of the plants, the fruit, and various diseases. So, here I share some important things with you, which if you are also facing these problems while gardening at home, I hope you will get great benefit.

The first thing that you have to keep in mind before planting any plant in your home is that you should be completely satisfied with the plant you are planting, how much space it will cover when it grows up in two or three years, how much is the circumference of this plant, and how much does it grow in height or stature. In addition, you also have to be satisfied with the season in which this plant bears fruit and what is the size of its fruit. In this way, before planting the plant, you have to determine its size or size, how much will its size or growth be when it grows, how much will its spread increase. Similarly, you have to choose a place for this plant keeping this in mind. If your space is narrow and the plant is of a large size, which will grow to a large size, then diseases will also attack this plant, and when that plant bears fruit, the fruit will not cluster properly. Similarly, you have to keep this in mind first.

Then you have to prepare the soil before planting. Wherever you are planting the plant, you have to dig a pit for the plant that is about one and a half feet to two feet deep. When you have dug the pit two feet deep, after digging the pit, you have to mix a little urea and DAP fertilizer in it. Apart from this, you have to put the soil that is found in rivers or is taken out from the canal around and at the bottom of this pit. In this way, you have to do this work before planting the plant. You have to dig a pit. The depth of the pit should be two feet or more, but when you plant the plant, the plant should be one and a half feet inside the ground. But after digging the pit, you have to mix about half a foot of potash, potassium urea fertilizer, DAP fertilizer in the pit and also add the soil taken out from the depth of the canal. In this way, you have to fill this pit with two or three liters of water. Leave it open for a day and do not plant the plant in it immediately. When three or four days have passed, plant the plant in the hole you have prepared. After planting the plant, fill the hole halfway. If you dug a two-foot hole, fill it completely with soil by adding soil to a one-foot hole. But while filling, press the soil firmly so that the plant stands upright in the ground properly and does not become crooked. Then, when you plant the plant in the ground, water it lightly. Do not fill the hole with too much water. This is the first thing you need to do before and after planting the plant.

When you have planted the plant in the ground, then you have to water the plant according to the weather. If it is winter, then you have to water the plant on the tenth day. If it is hot summer, then you have to water the plant every other day. After that, you do not have to give the plant any fertilizer, etc. because you have to understand that this plant that you have planted is a small child. Just like a human child or an animal child or a bird child is born, they are given a little food. Similarly, this plant that you have planted will be fruitful, so it will also be a small child. So you do not have to give it too much fertilizer or apply too much fertilizer. Rather, you do not have to apply fertilizer at all. Rather, you only have to water the plant according to the weather. So when it is winter, then you have to water it on the tenth day. If the summer is hot, then you have to water the plant every other day. You must not be lazy in watering the plant at all. Apart from that, I will repeat here again. I would like to write that you should not apply any fertilizer, any chemical mixed vitamin, whatever is applied to plants for the first year because the plant is weak and small, so it cannot tolerate too much food, so its roots get burned and the roots get rotten because it cannot tolerate too much fertilizer, so you should not give any fertilizer or chemical to the plant for about one to one and a half years. Rather, if any disease attacks it, then you can spray a little according to that disease so that the disease that has attacked the plant is eliminated.

When a plant is planted at a young age, the most common disease that attacks it is fungal disease. This fungal disease hollows the roots, weakens the roots, and worms grow in the roots. The sign of this is that when fungus grows in the roots of your plant and fungal disease occurs, your plant starts to dry up, and one stem dries up, and as it dries up, the entire stem or branch dries up, and the fruit that is planted on it also dries up. Similarly, whenever you have to identify a fungal or root disease, the identification of this disease is that the tallest stem of your plant, or the middle branches, or the surrounding stems, will start to dry up. They will dry up in such a way that gradually, in a month, you will feel as if the entire plant has been burned. If it dries up, you To cure this disease, you have to add a little kerosene or cool lime in the water or use a medicine that removes the fungal disease. It is better that when you are completely sure that your plant has become a victim of a fungal disease, then when you apply water to the roots, at that time you have to give a little spray that removes the fungal disease in the form of a flood in the water. In this way, when the water reaches the roots to cure the disease, then in this way that disease will end and your plant will be completely green and come back to life within one to two weeks. But you should know that when you are sure that your plant has become a victim of this disease and I have told you the sign of this disease is that the shoots and branches of the plant start to dry up completely and gradually the plant starts to burn or dry up completely. And if its fruit also dries up and falls off, then this is a big sign of fungus, so you have to treat it immediately. If this disease has taken over 100% of the plant, then it is not possible for your plant to survive. Even when the disease has attacked 80%, the plant can still return to its life.

When the plant is three years old or above, then flowers start to appear on the plant and those flowers also start to form fruits. Thus, when the plant is three years old or above, you have to keep using a little DAP and urea fertilizer at the end of the third year and also use calcium. The best thing for calcium is eggshells. If you grind the eggshells finely and make a paste of them and add the eggshell powder little by little to the roots of the plants, then the plant will be healthy and its fruit will also be large in size. If your plant has become fruitful and if you have planted the plant on sandy soil, then you must give your plant calcium DAP and urea fertilizer in small quantities every year, but you have to give fertilizer when you eat the fruit of the plant. When the fruit of the plant is ripe and you eat it, then after 10 or 15 days, you can water the plant. You have to give fertilizer or other fertilizers that create strength in the plant. When the plant starts flowering, then at that time you do not have to water the plant or give fertilizers at all. Rather, when the plant flowers, the size of its fruit becomes equal to the size of a lemon, then you have to apply different fertilizers to the plant at that time, which are calcium-rich and strong, which provide strength to your plant. In this way, you do not have to keep the fertilizer period long, but you have to feed the plant only twice a year. You have to apply one fertilizer before flowering, that is, if the flowers have not come yet and the flowers remain in bloom for 15 to 20 days, then you have to apply fertilizers. Similarly, when the size of the fruit becomes equal to a lemon, then you have to apply fertilizers. In addition, you must make a light mulch in the roots of the plant. If you mulch, then the roots of the plants will continue to have fresh air. Apart from this, you should also water the plant with artificial rain. This is to ensure that the plant remains healthy and that any dirt or dust that has accumulated on the leaves is washed away, preventing the leaves from feeling difficult to breathe.

One of the biggest problems is when the plant becomes three or four years old and when it flowers, then the plant drops the flowers and does not bear fruit. Or it also happens that flowers appear and the flowers turn into fruits. When the size of the fruit is equal to a small lemon, then the fruit starts falling from the plant and in this way all the fruits or flowers fall from the plant, even though the age of the plant is also appropriate. For this reason, the gardener who has planted a small garden at home gets worried that his plant has become four years old but flowers also come and fruits also grow but it drops. So I will give you a small tip here. You must check this thing that if your plant drops the fruit when it flowers, then you must first check the stem of the plant. If the stem of the plant is strong and growing, then your plant is lacking in fertilizers or is facing a lack of food, or your plant has roots in the ground. There is a disease that is weakening your plant. So, if the stem of your plant is small, then you have to fertilize the plant at appropriate intervals, give calcium, give urea fertilizer and give DAP fertilizer. You also have to do this if your plant is planted in sandy soil, then you have to remove the sandy soil from the roots of the plant to a depth of about two feet and add canal soil or fertile river soil in it. By doing this, your plant will be healthy and its stem will become strong and big. Until the stem of the plant is strong and big, your plant will not bear good fruit nor will it be able to preserve the fruit. This is the reason that the age of the plant is increasing, but its stem is small and weak, due to which it cannot bear flowers and fruits. So, you have to pay attention to this and you do not have to worry. The biggest solution is that you have to improve the soil of your plant. You have to dig it out two feet and add fertile soil from a canal or river, and feed it three times a year at intervals, which will provide it with strength. In this way, your plant will bear fruit and not flowers.

Another very important thing that I want to tell you here, which very few people know, is that if you have planted a plant in the ground and it has been four years since planting and that plant is not bearing fruit or flowers are growing on it and they are not turning into fruit, you also have to observe what species the plant you have planted is, is it able to tolerate the environment or weather or the area in which you have planted that plant, because there are some species of plants that accept the summer season well and do not accept the winter season or the changing weather, so you first have to look at your weather conditions. Then the most important thing is that if you have planted a plant and its stem is big and strong, but that plant does not bear fruit, then sometimes we make the mistake of repeatedly filling the place where we have planted the plant with soil. You have planted a plant in your yard or in any open place and then after two years of planting the plant, you have improved the soil in that place, then that plant will start growing again in that soil. Suppose you have planted a plant in a place and two years have passed since planting the plant. Now after two years, you have filled that place with soil so that you have filled that place with soil. When you fill that entire place with soil, you should consider that the plant that you had planted in that place has now been replanted. Because whenever you fill any place with soil, the position of the plants present in that place changes. You should consider that you have planted new plants. Similarly, if you have filled that place again after two years, then you should consider that you have planted the plant again. So, you should also keep in mind that if your plant is giving flowers but not bearing fruit, what is its purpose? This is not the reason why you have not filled your health or any open place where you have planted a plant. If you fill that place with soil every other year, then you should consider that on the day you filled it, you planted the plant there. In this way, if a plant is four years old and you fill that place with soil after those four years, then its age will remain four years, but it will bear fruit after four years, that is, after eight years. In this way, you should also observe that the plants that are not bearing fruits are not in the same condition at that place.

Apart from this, you also have to keep pruning your plants because when you plant a plant, you also have to prune the plant. Pruning means that the tendrils that are too low should be cut slightly, or the tendrils or branches that are dry and withered should be cut. Apart from this, you have to take care of the plant in every way, just like we get our hair cut, you have to keep cutting the branches of the plant, but when to cut them, you should not cut the tendrils at all in the spring. When you start picking the fruit of the plant, when you pick the fruit of the plant, you have to keep pruning the plant at the same time. When you pick the fruit, you have to break the fruit a little closer to the branch so that the thorns of the plant are trimmed in this way. This is the best way to prune the thorns. Whenever you pick the fruit of the plant, you should break the fruit of the plant in this way. So that the thorns of the plant are also pruned and you have to pluck the fruit with a tine that is four to five inches long. In this way, the thorns of the plant will also be pruned. And if at any stage after plucking the fruit, the branches of the plant are drying up, then you have to keep cutting the dried branches of the plant from time to time because this causes diseases and then you do not even know whether this branch is drying up due to some disease or it has just been cut off. If you keep cutting the dried branches regularly, then you will also realize that even though you are cutting the branches regularly, but still the plant is constantly drying up, then in this way you will also come to know that some disease has attacked your plant and you can also treat it in time. When we do not cut the dried branches of the plant, we do not even know whether the disease has come or not because sometimes the tinea is seasonal. They also dry up due to conditions, and thus when the branches dry up due to weather conditions, it does not cause much of a disease, but if the twigs are drying up due to some disease, then it leads the plant to death. Thus, we can observe this only when we regularly cut the dried twigs.

You are looking above that all the plants in the small garden in my house have fruits on them and this fruit is growing now. You can see that there is also a lemon plant and its seedlings and an aloe vera plant. In this way, there are different plants of different flavors. All these plants have been attacked by different diseases at different times and all these observations that I have written above, I have observed on these same plants in my garden. You should also keep in mind that whenever you want to plant a plant in your house, you must pay attention to the things I have mentioned above so that your plant becomes strong, healthy and gives good yield. This can happen only when we take care of the plant after planting it. Because sometimes we plant the plant in the ground but do not take proper care of it. So when this plant grows up, then you will not need to take much care of it. But the first two years of the plant are very important. In these first two years We have to provide a strong foundation for the plant, provide it with food, water it at the right time, and protect it from diseases so that the plant can properly establish its roots in the ground.

Here I would like to add one more thing to your information that sometimes it happens that the stem of your plant is strong, big and the age of the plant is also very old, but when its fruit is the size of a lemon or smaller than the size of a lemon, it starts falling on the ground. So I would like to give you this information here that you have to pick up the fruit that is falling from the plant and see if there are any black spots on it. If there are black spots on your fruit, then this is a sign that there is a bee that is beneficial. That bee comes and stings your fruit and then due to its sting, the fruit of your plant becomes weak and falls. In this way, you also have to check whether the fruit that is falling is not falling due to the attack of a bee. This bee attacks the fruit two to three times. So you must spray this bee so that this bee does not come near the fruit. So, this was a little information that I thought I would share with you all because it is our duty to protect fruit plants and if we share any information in this regard, it increases the knowledge and thus we can save the life of plants. So this was the information that I have learned from my experience and in my small garden at home because I have been growing plants in my house for 12 years and thus my house plants have been attacked by different diseases at different times and the fruit plants have also stopped bearing fruit and then I have eaten the fruits well and am eating them. So I thought that today I would share all this information with you all in detail. I hope that you have found my article informative and interesting. If you have any disagreement with me, then you must tell me in the comments so that I can correct my information. If you have any information, then you must also share it in the comments so that our knowledge can be increased. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read my article today. Thank you all again.
