to gardening,� by sowing seeds, because they don�t take as long time to grow and
will give that GREAT FEELING OF SATISFACTION AND the confidence required for a newbie gardener.

Watering Carefully: In newbie gardening, Over watering is actually the main villain that
kills your plants not under watering.
Best tip for beginners is first check the soil by dipping the finger into the soil to
atleast an inch and if its dry then only water the plants.

Sunlight exposure: The basic tip here is Know about your plant.
Know its name, google about the care tips of your plant.

Weeds: Actually when I started gardening, I used to feel happy when weeds started growing,
but be cruel to your weeds and just eliminate them without mercy.

Fungus and pest attacks: Be watchful for any pest attacks or fungus in the early stage
itself.
Spraying an organic pesticide like neem oil mix plus some liquid soap once every 15 days
as a preventive measure is the best garden tip for novice gardeners.

plants.
