FAQ
Do I have enough space to plant a vegetable or fruit garden in my backyard?
It's possible to wonder if you will have enough space for a vegetable or fruit garden if your current one is not available. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It only takes some planning. For example, you can build raised beds just 6 inches high. Or, you could use containers instead of raised beds. You will still get plenty of produce regardless of how you do it.
What is a planting plan?
A planting calendar is a list that lists plants that should be planted at specific times throughout the year. The goal is to maximize growth while minimizing stress for the plant. For example, early spring crops like lettuce, spinach, and peas should be sown after the last frost date. Summer beans, squash, cucumbers and squash are all later spring crops. Fall crops include cabbage, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and cauliflower.
How do I determine the type of soil that I have?
The color of the soil can tell you how much organic matter it contains. Organic matter is more abundant in dark soils than those with lighter colors. Another option is to test the soil. These tests assess the soil's nutritional content.
What vegetables do you recommend growing together?
Growing tomatoes and peppers together is excellent because they both like similar temperatures and soil conditions. They can complement each other because tomatoes require heat to mature, and peppers require lower temperatures for their optimal flavor. Plant them together indoors at least six weeks before you plant them. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
What kind of lighting works best for growing plants indoors?
Because they emit less heat then incandescent lamps, floralescent lights can be used indoors to grow plants. They can also provide steady lighting without flickering and dimming.

What month is the best time to start a garden?

How To
How to apply Foliar Fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers are applied to plants directly by spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse weather conditions. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.
Foliar fertilizers can be applied without soil contamination. The type of soil, the size and amount of foliage, as well as the type of plant will all determine the fertilizer required. Foliar fertilizers are best used while the plant is still actively growing. This will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.
