Growing Your Garden In The Shade
If you do not have ampul sunlight to grow your garden, you need to compensate in other areas.
- Rich soil is key to growing in shady areas. Use mulch/soil such as Miracle Grow Organic Soil to feed your plants from the bottom.
- Feed your garden with plant food. Plant food adds proteins and nutrients to your garden.
