Is my niche too broad?
My website is based on living in Cambodia, with gardening, farming, cooking, and travel angles. We live on a mango farm in southern Cambodia, I guess it is a lifestyle site. I have been blogging for just on a year now, with 25 blog posts (I know that’s not many), and my traffic does get a little better each month, but, not by much. I enjoy blogging, I just need an injection of SEO tips

No, but it probably competes with low to mid-budget traveling blogs, volontourism, and other highly competitive niches. I’d say read the posts here, follow their advice, and give it some time.

Convert this blog into YouTube… you’ll grow more reach and traffic also…best of luck ??

No way to know unless you do a proper keyword research campaign.
You need to identify good keywords, with significant search volume (e.g. if you make a very interesting post but no one ever Googles its keywords, it’ll give no traffic) and reasonable competition (as said above, if you clash a keyword with several big traveling websites, it’ll be hard for you to get a good position in the SERPs).
The broadness is good enough, you can cover plenty of things so it gives you much more margin in your keyword research.

Not broad it’s good. You have to look at it as how you’re helping your target audience. It could be tourist but you need to add side content that complements the main blog topic.
I would say increase the frequency of posts and do some kw research -
Not at all. But two things:
1. I don’t think your content is broad at all. The problem is that search works best when your content as answering questions. Unless people are actively searching for personal narratives about farming in Cambodia, it is unlikely your website will show up in search results. That means social channels or active recommendation channels are going to be your best bet.
2. optimizing content to work for search means not optimizing for social or active recommendation channels. Users in those two mediums are looking for different things.
