FAQ
What type of lighting is best to grow plants indoors?
Florescent lights work well for growing plants indoors because they emit less heat than incandescent bulbs. They are also consistent in lighting, and do not flicker or dimm. Both regular and compact fluorescent fluorescent bulbs are available. CFLs can use up to 75% more energy than traditional bulbs.
What is a planting plan?
A planting calendar is a list of plants that should be planted at different times throughout the year. The goal is to maximise growth while minimizing stress. The last frost date should be used to sow early spring crops, such as spinach, lettuce, and beans. Spring crops later include squash, cucumbers, summer beans, and squash. Fall crops include cabbage, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and cauliflower.
When is it best to plant herbs?
Plant herbs in spring when the soil temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit. For best results, plant them in full sunlight. For basil indoors, plant seedlings in potting mix-filled pots and let them grow until they produce leaves. Once plants start growing, move them into bright indirect light. After about three weeks, transplant them to individual containers and continue to water them regularly.
What's the difference?
Hydroponic gardening uses nutrients-rich water to feed plants. Aquaponics uses fish tanks to grow plants. It's almost like having a farm right at home.
When to plant flowers
Spring is the best season to plant flowers. It is when the temperatures are warmer and the soil is still moist. If you live in colder climates, it is best to plant flowers after the first frost. The ideal temperature for growing plants indoors is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

How To
Use organic fertilizers in your garden
Organic fertilizers are made with natural substances like compost, manure, seaweed extract and blood meal. The term "organic" means that they are produced using non-synthetic material. Synthetic fertilizers include chemicals used in industrial processes. These fertilizers are commonly used in agriculture, as they can provide nutrients to plants quickly without the need for complicated preparation. However, synthetic fertilizers pose a risk to the environment and our health. In addition, they require large amounts of energy and water to produce. Due to runoff, synthetic fertilizers can pollute both groundwater as well as surface waters. This pollution is both harmful to wildlife as well as humans.
There are several types of organic fertilizers:
* Manure is a product of livestock eating nitrogen-rich food (a plant nutrient). It has bacteria and enzymes that help to break down the waste, resulting in simple compounds that are easy for plants to absorb.
* Compost - A mixture of grass clippings from the lawn, decaying leaves, vegetable scraps, and animal dung. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, boron, molybdenum, chlorine, and carbon. It is extremely porous and holds water well.
* Fish Emulsion – A liquid product derived from fish oils. It dissolves fats and oils in a similar way to soap. It also contains trace elements, phosphorous and nitrogen.
* Seaweed Oil - A concentrated mixture of minerals taken from kelp, red and brown algae, as well as green algae. It provides a source of vitamins A and C, iodine, and iron.
* Guano is the excrement of seabirds and bats. It contains carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous as well as potassium, sodium and magnesium.
* Blood Meal: The remains of animal carcasses. It's rich in protein and can be used to feed poultry and other animals. It also contains trace minerals, phosphorus and potassium.
Mix equal amounts of compost, manure, and/or fish oil to make organic fertilizer. Mix well. If you don’t have access, you can mix one ingredient with the other. For example, you could mix 1 part of the fishemulsion with 2 parts of compost if only you have access to fish emulsion.
Apply the fertilizer by spreading it evenly using a tiller or shovel. About a quarter of a cup of the fertilizer is needed per square foot. You will need to add more fertilizer every two weeks until you see signs of new growth.
