If you choose to skip putting up a fence, the local animals could wipe out your harvest. Deer require a higher fence, but it’s worth it since they can damage your crops severely. Rabbits and groundhogs will be deterred by a short but sturdy fence that’s buried about a foot into the ground.

8. Using invasive plants
Planting invasive plants is a common mistake that gardeners make. Some of these plants grow out of control and can be extremely difficult to get rid of. Check online to make sure that a plant you’re considering isn’t going to turn into a nightmare.

9. Skimping on soil
If you start off with poor soil, you’ll be toiling against it all season. Work a 2-inch layer of compost into your soil before you plant. Your soil will reward you with healthy plants if you give it infusions of organic matter regularly.

10. Not staggering harvest times
You need to do some strategic planning to stagger your harvest times. Otherwise, you’ll be eating lettuce every night for a brief time but not throughout the season. Stagger your harvests with succession planting and planting varieties that mature at different times.
