Soil Testing: Use a soil test kit to determine your soil's pH and nutrient levels. This helps in selecting the right plants and fertilizers. Companion Planting: Plant compatible species to naturally deter pests and promote growth. For example, marigolds can repel nematodes and other pests when planted near tomatoes. Raised Beds and Containers: These are easier to manage and can prevent soil compaction. They also help control soil quality better. Zoning: Group plants with similar water and sunlight needs together. This ensures more efficient watering and care.
