first time i threw a seed in the dirt, i didn’t know shit just hoped water and sun would do the trick. plant barely made it.
second round, i started listening to the dirt. like, literally checking moisture by feel, not just dumping water. added worm castings, let the microbes work, stopped overthinking nutes.
biggest tip? don’t fight the soil. feed it, respect it, and it’ll take care of the plant. dirt wants weed… you just gotta meet it halfway.
