Gardening for Beginners: Simple Steps to Grow Your Own Food

A common mistake is sowing seeds too deep, which suffocates them. Seeds need light and air to germinate, so the solution is to sow them shallowly and cover them lightly with soil.

Finding the right water balance is crucial. Too much water leads to rot, while too little causes dryness. The key is to keep your soil consistently moist but never soggy to the touch.

If your seeds aren't sprouting, it might be because they are old or of low quality. Expired seeds struggle to germinate, so the solution is to always start with fresh, high-quality seeds for the best results.

Poor soil quality, such as compacted or nutrient-poor soil, can block seed growth. We always recommend using a fresh, high-quality potting mix like our Prithvi Soil Media to give your seeds the nutrients they need.
