FAQ

What is a plant calendar?

A planting calendar is a list that lists plants that should be planted at specific times throughout the year. The goal is for plants to grow at their best while minimizing stress. Early spring crops like spinach, lettuce, and peas must be sow after the last frost date. Squash, cucumbers, and summer beans are some of the later spring crops. Fall crops include cabbage, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and cauliflower.

What should I do the first time you want to start a vegetable garden?

When beginning a garden, the first thing to do is to prepare the soil. This involves adding organic matter like composted manure and grass clippings as well as leaves, straw, straw, and other materials that provide nutrients to the soil. Next, you will plant your seeds or seedlings directly into the prepared holes. Finally, water thoroughly.

What's the difference between aquaponic and hydroponic gardening?

Hydroponic gardening is a method that uses water to nourish plants instead of soil. Aquaponics uses fish tanks to grow plants. It's like having a farm right in your backyard.

Can I plant fruit trees in pots

Yes! If space is limited, you can grow fruit trees in pots. You should make sure that your pot has drainage holes to keep excess moisture from rotting the tree. The pot should be deep enough to hold the rootball. This will protect the tree from being stressed.

How can I find out what type of soil my house has?

You can tell by looking at the color of the dirt. The soil color will tell you if it contains more organic matter than the lighter ones. Another option is to test the soil. These tests assess the soil's nutritional content.

Which is the best layout for a vegetable garden?

The best vegetable garden layout depends on where you live. If you live in the city, you should plant vegetables together for easy harvesting. For maximum yield, however, it is best to space your plants if you are in a rural area.

How To

How to grow basil

Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. It's great for flavoring dishes, adding flavor to soups, sauces, salads, pasta, and even desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.

Be careful about where you place it. Basil is an annual and will not live more than one season if it isn't in the right spot. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. If you want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Place the pots in clear plastic wrap. Keep them out of direct sunlight. Germination can take up to ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
Regularly water the plants. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
Pick your basil when it reaches its prime. To encourage bushier growth, pick the leaves often.
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
