FAQ
What vegetables do you recommend growing together?
Growing tomatoes and peppers together is excellent because they both like similar temperatures and soil conditions. Both are great companions as tomatoes require heat to ripen, while peppers need cooler temperatures to achieve their best flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. After the weather has warmed up, you can transplant the pepper plants and tomatoes outside.
What is the difference in hydroponics and aquaponics?
Hydroponic gardening makes use of nutrient-rich water rather than soil to grow plants. Aquaponics blends fish tanks with plants to create a self sufficient ecosystem. It's like having a farm right in your backyard.
How often should I water my indoor plant?
Watering indoor plants should be done every two days. Watering helps maintain humidity levels inside the house. Healthy plants require humidity.
Can I grow vegetables in my backyard?
You might be wondering if you have enough space to grow a vegetable garden if you don't have one. Yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It just takes some planning. For example, you can build raised beds just 6 inches high. Containers can be used in place of raised beds. You will still have plenty of produce, regardless of which method you choose.
What is the minimum space required to grow vegetables?
The rule of thumb is to use 1/2 pound seed per square foot. For example, if you have a 10 foot by 10 foot area (3 meters by three meters), 100 pounds of seeds will be required.

How To
Organic fertilizers for garden use
Organic fertilizers are made of natural substances like manure, compost and fish emulsion. Organic fertilizers are made from non-synthetic materials. Synthetic fertilizers include 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. Synthetic fertilizers can pose risks to the environment and human health. They also require large amounts energy and water to make. Due to runoff, synthetic fertilizers can pollute both groundwater as well as surface waters. This pollution is detrimental to humans and wildlife alike.
There are many 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 is a mixture from vegetable scraps, grass clippings and decaying leaves. It is rich in carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium and sulfur. It's porous so it is able to retain moisture well, and slowly releases nutrients.
* Fish Emulsion – A liquid product derived from fish oils. It is similar to soap in its ability to dissolve oils and fats. It has trace elements such as phosphorous, nitrogen and nitrate.
* 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 - Excreta from amphibians and seabirds. It contains nitrogen, sulfur, chloride and carbon.
* Blood Meal: The remains of animal carcasses. It is rich with protein, making it useful for feeding poultry or other animals. It also contains phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, and trace minerals.
Combine equal parts of compost, manure and/or fish-emulsion to make organic fertilizer. Mix well. If you don't have all three ingredients, you can substitute them one for another. You can mix one part of the fish emulsion with two portions of compost if you don't have enough.
Use a shovel to evenly distribute the fertilizer over the soil. Spread about a quarter cup of the mixture per square foot of growing space. To see new growth, you will need to apply more fertilizer every 2 weeks.
