Garden Basics That Actually Work

Maybe you've planted a garden before. Maybe it half-worked, fizzled by July, or never gave you the harvest you pictured. You're not alone — and it wasn't your fault. Most gardening advice online is scattered or missing what matters. This module gives you the fundamentals — the skills that separate a struggling garden from one that feeds your family. By the end, you'll know how to: Plan before you plant — build a real menu, design a garden to grow it, and choose varieties suited to your climate Start seeds with confidence — know which seeds go in plug trays, paper pots, biodegradable pots, or straight into soil, including herbs, artichokes, and seeds that need light to germinate Make your own paper pots — and know why they matter Build real soil — mix potting soil from store-bought or home-gathered ingredients, and make your own fertilizer Transplant without losing plants — move seedlings from plug tray to six-pack to garden bed, including tricky transplants like carrots Troubleshoot like a grower who's seen it before — treat fungal disease, replant failed seeds, know primary vs. secondary crops, sprouting temperatures, and proper watering No fluff, no guesswork — real skills, taught step by step, ready for your own backyard. Dig in the dirt, watch a seed become a plant, pull up your first carrot — real science, real food. By the end, you won't just have a garden. You'll have the confidence to grow food every season for life. When you purchase this module, you get life-time access to every video in this section, including any I add later. There's no time limit and no required order. I recommend my book, Worry-Free Eating, available separately on Amazon. It's not required, but it's a good companion to this class as it covers soil health principles and food growing skills. I make my living teaching these classes, so please don't share this course with others without them purchasing it. I appreciate your honesty. Thank you for learning :) William DeMille.
