Transform Yards With Edible Landscaping Southern California’s Secret

Getting Started with Edible Landscaping

Starting your edible landscape involves careful planning and selection of plants that suit your region's climate. In Southern California, the Mediterranean climate supports a wide variety of plants such as citrus trees, avocados, tomatoes, and herbs like rosemary and thyme. Begin by assessing your yard's sunlight exposure, soil quality, and water availability. Consider incorporating raised beds or containers to optimize space and manage soil conditions more effectively. To maximize yields, practice companion planting, which involves growing plants that benefit each other when placed in proximity.
