Weekends provide the perfect opportunity to get your hands dirty and start growing. If you want to cultivate a thriving herb and vegetable garden, here are three simple DIY garden projects you can try.
Replenish Your Mulch
Mulching is an essential component of maintaining the health of your garden soil. Mulch helps to retain moisture in the soil, reduce weed growth, and improve soil fertility. Give your garden the much-needed boost it deserves with a layer of fresh mulch.
What You’ll Need:
- Mulch
- Gardening Gloves
- A Rake
How to apply:
Spread a 3-4 inch layer of mulch around the base of your plants, ensuring not to cover the stems of the plants. Water the garden after applying the mulch to settle it down. This simple DIY project will help keep your garden healthy throughout the growing season.

What You’ll Need:
- Fertiliser
- Gardening gloves
- A Trowel
How to apply:
Sprinkle the fertiliser around the base of your plants, ensuring not to cover the stems of the plants. Water the garden after applying the fertiliser to help it soak in. Always follow the instructions on the fertiliser packet to ensure you’re using the correct amount.

Small Potted Herbs
If you’re short on space, a herb garden is still possible, thanks to small pot plants! Setting up some small potted herbs is a perfect DIY project to try. Not only do potted herbs add an aesthetic appeal to your garden, but they are also ideal for growing small herbs like basil, sage, and mint.
What You’ll Need:
- Small pots (terracotta or plastic)
- Potting mix
- Your herb of choice
- Water
How to assemble:
Fill your pots with potting mix, ensuring not to overfill. Plant your herb or seedlings according to the instructions.
