12 steps to a successful garden in Dubai

I have updated this post a bit since writing it back in 2014. I have learned a few things since then and have experimented a lot. There aren't many updates, but those minor updates are worth publishing. 1) Planting Time Start planting at the right time of the year. Plants need time to adjust and adapt to the new environment. When you buy plants from the nursery 90% of the time they had been kept under the shade cloth and not in direct sunlight. In order to thrive they first need to adjust to the sun levels. They also need to grow roots. When you buy too late into the year (actually I mean growing season, that is closer to late spring) plants don't have enough time to adapt and many plants either die or struggle, because they don't know where to put their energy into - growing roots or handling the sun.

I won’t go into details about soil composition and types of soils in this post, will leave it for later.. Soils can be of three major types: sand, clay and silt. Different combination of these make the soils around the world. In this part of the world we have ...

Sweet soil or sweet sand???

So if you've been gardening for sometime you must have heard about sweet soil aka sweet sand. Wait. They are the same thing? I thought so. Didn't you? Well it turns out the two terms are used interchangbly but in reality refer to totally different things. Read this article to find out more about the difference and what each is.
