Congratulations on your first year! I know exactly how you feel about wanting to do things on your own with your own preferred methods. After all it is your gardening journey!
The way I approach it, I will listen to the advice or do my own research of different methods and pick and choose from all that what makes the most sense to me. Sometimes I will just experiment with things by myself and it ends up to be more like trial and error, you know. I learn a lot from mistakes and I love making mistakes because there is always some knowledge at the end that I can collect as a result.
Where is fun in life without a little bit of risk too? The experts might tell you - I told you so, but I find learning by myself feels like some sort of achievement.
Good luck with your trees and garden! :)
Yup, for now, I am telling people I am in the R&D phase and I am willing to sacrifice a bit of resources and time in order to learn and know how to do it my way. The area is about 1000 square meters and it takes a lot of labor just to keep the grass and thorns from taking over permanently. If you're doing it manually, which I am. And so with watering, too.
The carrots and beet turned out quite fine, except for the fact I wasted a bit of seeds not spacing them well enough so that each plant could grow near its full potential (in the case of the red beet).
But I found out that I care for the trees a lot. It's R&D but with some...contaminating levels of attachment.
