FAQ
Which kind of lighting is most effective for growing indoor plants?
Because they emit less heat, floralescent lights are great for indoor gardening. They also provide consistent lighting without flickering or dimming. There are two types of fluorescent bulbs: regular and compact fluorescent (CFL). CFLs consume up to 75% less electricity than traditional bulbs.
How do you prepare the soil?

Is there enough space in my backyard to grow a vegetable garden.
If you don’t have a garden yet, you may wonder if there is enough room to start one. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It takes just a little planning. You could make raised beds that are only 6 inches tall. Or, you could use containers instead of raised beds. You'll still be able to get plenty of produce in any way.
