FAQ
Do I need special equipment to grow vegetables in my garden?
Not really. All you need are a trowel or shovel and a watering can.
What vegetables are good to grow together?
Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. They complement each other well since tomatoes need heat to ripen while peppers require cooler temperatures for optimal flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. When the weather is warm, transplant the pepper and tomato plants outside.
When is the best time to plant flowers?
When the weather is milder and the soil has a good moisture content, spring is the best time to plant flowers. Planting flowers should be done after the first frost if you live in a cold climate. The ideal temperature for indoor gardening is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
How many hours of daylight does a plant really need?
It all depends on what kind of plant you have. Some plants need 12 hours of direct sun per day. Others prefer 8 hours of indirect sunlight. Most vegetables need at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour time period.

What time should I plant herbs in my garden?
Plant herbs in spring when the soil temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit. For best results, plant them in full sunlight. Basil indoors can be grown in pots with potting mixture. They should be kept out of direct sunlight until they grow leaves. Once the plants begin to grow properly, you should move them into bright indirect lights. After three weeks, you can transplant them to individual pots and water them every day.

How To
Organic fertilizers are available for garden use
Organic fertilizers are made of natural substances like manure, compost and fish emulsion. The term "organic" means that they are produced using non-synthetic material. Synthetic fertilizers contain chemicals used in industrial processes. Synthetic fertilizers are used widely in agriculture as they supply nutrients quickly and efficiently to plants without the need for laborious preparation. However, synthetic fertilizers pose a risk to the environment and our health. They also require large amounts energy and water to make. Moreover, many synthetic fertilizers pollute groundwater and surface waters due to runoff. This pollution is harmful to wildlife and humans.
There are many organic fertilizers available:
* Manure - is made when livestock eat nitrogen (a plant food nutrient). It contains bacteria and enzymes that break down the waste into simple compounds that plants can absorb easily.
* Compost: A mixture of animal manure, grass clippings (decomposing leaves), vegetable scraps (vegetable scraps) and grass clippings (grass clippings). It is rich for nitrogen, carbon, potassium and magnesium. It is highly porous so it can retain moisture well and release nutrients slowly.
* Fish Emulsion – A liquid product derived from fish oils. It works similarly to soap in that it dissolves oils and fats. It also contains trace elements, phosphorous and nitrogen.
* Seaweed extract - A concentrated solution of minerals from kelp and red algae. It provides a source of vitamins A and C, iodine, and iron.
* Guano - Excreta from amphibians and seabirds. It contains nitrogen, sulfur, chloride and carbon.
* Blood Meal - The remains of animals slaughtered. It is high in protein, making it suitable for feeding poultry and other livestock. It also contains trace minerals, phosphorus and potassium.
Make organic fertilizer by combining equal parts manure, fish emulsion, and compost. Mix well. If you don’t possess all three ingredients you can substitute one for the other. You can mix one part of the fish emulsion with two portions of compost if you don't have enough.
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the soil with a shovel, or tiller. The fertilizer should be about 1/4 cup per square foot. You'll need to add fertilizer every two weeks until new growth appears.
