FAQ

What vegetables do you recommend growing together?

The combination of tomatoes and peppers is great because they love the same temperatures and soil conditions. They can complement each other because tomatoes require heat to mature, and peppers require lower temperatures for their optimal flavor. You can try planting them together by starting seeds indoors six weeks before transplanting them outdoors. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.


Are pots possible to grow fruit trees?

Yes! Yes! Your pot should have drainage holes to ensure that the tree doesn't get rotted by excess moisture. The pot should be deep enough to hold the rootball. This will protect the tree from being stressed.


What is the difference in hydroponics and aquaponics?

Hydroponic gardening is a method that uses water to nourish plants instead of soil. Aquaponics is a system that combines fish tanks and plants to create an ecosystem that is self-sufficient. It's like having a farm right in your backyard.


Do I have to purchase special equipment in order to grow vegetables on my own?

No, not really. You only need a trowel, shovel, watering can, and a rake.


What is a planting calendar?

A planting calendar is a list of plants that should be planted at different 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. Cucumbers, squash, and spring beans are later crops. Fall crops include carrots and cabbage, broccoli, cauliflowers, kale, potatoes, and others.

How To

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants by spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.

Foliar fertilizers can be applied without soil contamination. The type of plant, how large it is, and the amount of foliage it has all affect the amount of fertilizer that is required. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:

  • It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
  • Be sure to follow the directions. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, use the hose attachment. If you don't want to spray too much, make sure to turn off your nozzle after each few sprays.
  • Mixing different types of foliar fertilisers can cause problems. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
  • Spray at least five to six feet from the trunk. At least three feet should be spaced between the trunk of the tree and the edge where you plan on applying the fertilizer.
  • Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. Sunlight can cause light-sensitive chemicals in fertilizer to disintegrate.
  • Apply the fertilizer evenly to the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Allow the fertilizer time to dry completely before watering.
