That depends on the plant. For some plants, digging up some dirt and plopping them in the ground may do the trick. Obviously, for most plants, this will not work since natural ground soil often contains high amounts of clay. What you’ll want to do is go out to your local home and garden store and buy some potting mix. It is specially formulated to help your plants grow. Add dead leaves and grass to the bottom of the container or pot. This can provide additional nutrients to the plant and help it grow.

The best time to plant new grass seed is in the spring. During this season, the soil temperature is ideal for seed germination

How often you need to water your garden will depend on a variety of factors, including the climate where you live, the time of year.
