Kathleen “Kathy” Love is an accomplished attorney in Albuquerque, New Mexico who practices with McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya & Love, PA, mainly in civil litigation cases. Outside of her professional responsibilities as an attorney, Kathy Love enjoys gardening in her leisure time. Gardening can be a relaxing and fulfilling outdoor leisure activity. For beginners, however, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to begin. Here are two quick and easy tips to help the novice gardener get off to a good start. Before planting, test the soil to determine its pH levels. This can often be done at a nearby nursery cooperative extension if your area has one. Home improvement stores often have kits you can use yourself if necessary. Once you know the content of your soil, be it alkaline or acidic, it’s time to make some decisions. If you’re set on certain plants that don’t favor your soil type, there are treatments available to make the area more receptive. If you don’t want to treat the soil, you can choose plants that tend to thrive in the type of dirt you have. Label your plants. If you aren’t familiar with how plants should look, they can often be hard to distinguish as they first begin to grow. Labeling your plants is an easy and effective way to differentiate them. This is especially important if certain plants require more specific care than others.
