1️⃣ Soil Preparation:
Get a soil test done first to understand nutrient levels.
Add compost and aged manure to enrich the soil naturally.
Use cover crops like clover or rye in the off-season to improve soil structure.
2️⃣ Irrigation:
Drip irrigation is cost-effective and conserves water.
If you're on a budget, soaker hoses are a good alternative.
Collect rainwater if possible—it saves money and is great for plants.
3️⃣ Pest Control:
Companion planting helps (e.g., basil near tomatoes to repel insects).
Neem oil and diatomaceous earth are effective organic pest controls.
Encourage beneficial insects like ladybugs to keep pests in check.
