🌱✨ 10 Gardening Myths That Just Won’t Die (But Totally Should!) ✨🌱
It’s funny how some gardening “wisdom” gets passed down like gospel. 👩🌾 Everyone’s heard those little tips and tricks from neighbors, grandparents, or random internet comments… but not all of them are true! In fact, some of these so-called truths are flat-out myths that could actually be harming your plants. 😬
Take this classic: “Put gravel in the bottom of pots for better drainage.” Sounds smart, right? Wrong. 🚫 What it really does is trap water and increase the risk of root rot. A few rocks are fine, but a thick gravel layer? That’s a plant’s worst nightmare.
Or how about this dangerous one: “All manure is the same.” Nope! ❌ Fresh chicken manure, for example, is super high in nitrogen. If you toss it straight into your garden, you’ll end up burning your plants instead of feeding them. (Composting first is key here!) 🔥🌿
And those are just two of the ten myths that sneak into gardens everywhere. Some are harmless old traditions, but others can wipe out an entire season’s crop.

- 🌱 Protect Your Plants – Avoid mistakes that can stunt growth or kill crops.
