Ensure well-drained soil by adding compost and organic matter. Proper drainage prevents waterlogging and root rot during heavy monsoon rains.
Choose plants that thrive in the monsoon, like okra, spinach, and ginger. These plants flourish in the warm, humid conditions of the season.
Monsoon brings pests and diseases. Use natural pesticides and keep a close watch for early signs of infestations to protect your garden.
Regularly prune plants to remove dead or diseased parts. Stake taller plants to provide support and prevent them from falling in strong winds.
Reduce watering frequency during monsoon. Overwatering can harm plants, so only water when necessary, especially for potted plants with less drainage.
Apply mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect roots from heavy rain. Organic mulch like straw or leaves works best.
