The garden requires attention, but you didn't sign up for hard work.

Watering, weeding, fertilizing eat up the weekend. But it can grow almost by itself, if you give it a chance.

Here are five steps that will definitely free you from worries.

Grass as a shield

Grass clippings or sawdust between the beds retain water and suppress weeds.

Spread a five-centimeter layer and the soil will do the rest.

Watering without you

Dig bottles with a pierced bottom into the ground next to the roots. Fill them once a week - the water will reach itself while you drink tea.

Compost from leftovers

Kitchen peelings mixed with soil nourish the soil. Throw them under the bushes, and the plants will take their toll without additional feeding.

Good neighbors

Plant carrots with onions or cucumbers with dill. They protect each other from pests, and you won’t have to run around with a sprayer.

Seeds are smarter

Choose varieties that love your climate. Less care, more harvest - nature itself will tell you.

These steps will give you time to rest. The garden will cope, and you will be able to pick the fruits without getting tired.
