FAQ
Which type of lighting best suits indoor plant growth?
Because they emit less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, Florescent lights are ideal for indoor plant growth. They can also provide steady lighting without flickering and dimming. Fluorescent bulbs come in both compact fluorescent (CFL) and regular varieties. CFLs require 75% less energy than traditional bulbs.
How many hours of light does a plant need?
It depends on which plant it is. Some plants need 12 hours of direct sun per day. Some plants prefer 8 hours of direct sunlight. The majority of vegetables require 10 hours of direct sunshine per 24 hour period.
What month is best for starting a vegetable or fruit garden?
From April to June is the best season for vegetables. This is when soil is at its warmest and plants are growing the fastest. If you live somewhere cold, it is best to wait until July or august.
What is the best vegetable gardening layout?
It all depends on where you live. For easy harvesting, you can plant vegetables together if the area is large. If you live in rural areas, space your plants to maximize yield.

How To
Basil Growing Tips
Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can use in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annual and will not live more than one season if it isn't in the right spot. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. If you plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination can take up to ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them. Place the seedlings in larger containers and remove the plastic wrap. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. As necessary, you can add more potting material. Place the containers in indirect or sunny light. Mist the plants daily to prevent wilting.
-
Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.
-
Water your plants frequently. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To determine how much water your plants require, use a rain gauge. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
Pick your basil when it reaches its prime. You can encourage bushier growth by picking the leaves more often.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. The leaves can be stored in glass jars or bags in their refrigerator.
