FAQ
What is the difference between hydroponic gardening and aquaponic gardening?

What should I do the first time you want to start a vegetable garden?
The first step to starting a garden is to prepare it. This includes adding organic material such as composted horse manure, grass clippings or leaves, straw and the like, which provides plant nutrients. Next, you will plant your seeds or seedlings directly into the prepared holes. Finally, water thoroughly.
Do I need to buy special equipment to grow vegetables?
No, not really. All you need to do is use a shovel, trowels, watering containers, and maybe even a rake.
What vegetables are good to grow together and what are the best?
Growing tomatoes and peppers together is excellent because they both like similar temperatures and soil conditions. They can complement each other because tomatoes require heat to mature, and peppers require lower temperatures for their optimal flavor. To grow them together, you can start seeds indoors around six weeks before planting. Once the weather cools down, transplant the pepper or tomato plants outdoors.
What month is the best time to start a garden?
It is best to plant vegetables between April and June. This is when the soil temperature is highest and plants grow most quickly. You might want to wait until July/August if you live in a cold area.
