FAQ

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.

Next, plant seedlings or seeds in the prepared holes. Then, water well.

What amount of sunlight does a plant require?

It depends upon the type of plant. Some plants require 12 hours of direct sunlight per day. Others prefer 8 hours in indirect sunlight. The majority of vegetables require 10 hours of direct sunshine per 24 hour period.

How big is a vegetable gardening space?

A good rule is that 1 square foot of soil needs 1/2 pound. For example, if you have a 10 foot by 10 foot area (3 meters by three meters), 100 pounds of seeds will be required.

What's the best way to keep my indoor plant alive?

Indoor plants can survive up to ten years. However, it's important to repot your plant every few months to help promote new growth. Repotting is easy. All you have to do is remove the soil and put in fresh compost.

What is a planting calendar?

A planting schedule is a list listing the dates when plants should be planted. The goal is to maximize growth while minimizing stress for the plant. So, for example, spring crops such as lettuce, spinach, or peas should not be sown before the last frost date. Squash, cucumbers, and summer beans are some of the later spring crops. Fall crops include carrots and cabbage, broccoli, cauliflowers, kale, potatoes, and others.
