FAQ
What size space is required for a vegetable garden?
A good rule is that 1 square foot of soil needs 1/2 pound. If you have a 10-foot by 10-foot area (3m by 3m), then 100 pounds will be needed.
What type of lighting is best to grow plants indoors?
Because they emit less heat that incandescents, floriescent lights are a good choice for growing indoor plants. They can also provide steady lighting without flickering and dimming. Fluorescent bulbs can be purchased in regular and compact fluorescent versions. CFLs are up to 75% cheaper than traditional bulbs.
What is a planting calendar?
A planting calendar lists the plants that should all be planted at various times during the year. The goal of the planting calendar is to increase plant growth while minimizing stress. Early spring crops like spinach, lettuce, and peas must be sow after 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.
When should you plant herbs?
The ideal time to plant herbs is springtime, when the soil temperature is 55°F. Plant them in full sun for best results. To grow basil indoors, place seedlings in pots filled with potting mix and keep them out of direct sunlight until they sprout leaves. When plants are growing, place them in bright indirect lighting. After three to four weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Keep them hydrated.
What is the best way to determine what kind of soil I have?
It is easy to tell the difference by the color of your dirt. More organic matter is found in darker soils than in lighter soils. You can also do soil tests. These tests determine the amount of nutrients in the soil.

How To
How to start a garden
It's much easier than many people think to start a gardening business. There are several ways to go about starting a garden.
A local nursery can be a good place to get seeds. This is most likely the easiest method to start a gardening venture.
A community garden plot is another option. Community gardens are usually located near schools, parks, and other public areas. These plots are often equipped with raised beds that can be used for vegetable growing.
You can start your garden quickly by planting a container garden. You will need a small container or planter to start your container gardening. You can then plant your seedlings.
You could also purchase a kit that is already assembled. Kits include everything needed to get started. Kits can even include tools and supplies.
The best part about planting a garden is that you don't have to follow any rules. You can do what suits you best. Follow these guidelines.
Decide what type of garden you want. Do you need a large garden? Do you prefer to have just a few herbs in pots or a large garden?
Next, choose where you want to plant your garden. Is it going to be in a container? Or will the container be used to plant?
Once you've decided what type of garden you want, you can start looking for the materials.
Also, think about how much space you have. You may not have enough space for a large garden if you live in a small apartment.
Finally, once you have determined where you will be building your garden, you can get started. The first step is to prepare your area.
This means removing any weeds and debris. Next, dig the hole for each plant. You need to make sure that the holes are deep enough for the roots to not touch the sides as they grow.
Fill the holes with compost or topsoil. To retain moisture, you can add organic matter.
Once you have prepared the area, place the plants. Be careful not to overcrowd them. They require space to grow.
Continue to enrich the soil with organic matter as the plants mature. This prevents disease and keeps the soil healthy.
When you see new plant growth, fertilize them. Fertilizer encourages strong root systems. It promotes faster growing.
Continue watering the plants until they reach maturity. When this happens, harvest the fruits and enjoy!
