The Redditor u/red-it shared the gardening advice in a post.

“I see requests from newbies quite a bit asking for tips on how to garden. Here are my tricks that I normally share when people are standing in my 8,000-square-foot garden,” they wrote.

While beginners can tend to be over-eager, he warned against trying to grow “everything you find in a store.”

Starting small and specialized was the key to success.

“Localize it to a salsa garden, or a stir fry garden to begin with,” they said.

The expert added that during seed-planting, giving the plants adequate space apart was important.

“It’s better to get less of something that is larger, than more of something that can’t develop,” they said.

Soil was also critical for larger plants, which may require replacement after a bit of time.

“I often dig a hole, put in some 10-10-10, then a couple shovels of compost, and then the tomato, pepper, cabbage plant,” they said.

For those looking for an early Spring harvest, they recommended getting an early start with lettuce, radishes, set onions, and spinach.

“Plant these in an area that will be consumed by a larger plant like squash later in the season,” they said.

“Consider a fall crop of lettuce, spinach, beets, or whatever to consume the space in the garden from early ending plants.”

To prevent plants from falling over or to the ground, they also built cages to keep them insulated.

“Use large cages for tomatoes and use large stakes (studded T-posts) to keep the cage from falling over,” they said.

“Use small cages for peppers and small stakes (like for electric fences) to keep the cage from falling over.”
