FAQ

What amount of sunlight does a plant require?

It all depends on what kind of plant you have. Some plants require 12 hours of direct sunshine per day. Others prefer 8 hours of indirect sunlight. Most vegetables need at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour time period.


What seeds should be started indoors?

The best seed for starting indoors is a tomato seed. Tomatoes are very easy to grow and produce fruit year-round. You should be cautious when putting tomatoes into pots. Planting tomatoes too early can lead to soil drying out which could lead roots to rot. You should also be aware of diseases like bacterial Wilt that can quickly kill your plants.


Are pots possible to grow fruit trees?

Yes! If space is limited, you can grow fruit trees in pots. Your pot should have drainage holes to ensure that the tree doesn't get rotted by excess moisture. Also ensure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the root ball. This will keep the tree from becoming stressed.


How do I prepare the soil for a garden?

It is simple to prepare soil for your vegetable garden. You must first remove all weeds from the area you wish to plant vegetables. Then, add organic matter such as composted manure, leaves, grass clippings, straw, or wood chips. Let the plants grow by watering well.

How To

Use organic fertilizers in your garden

Organic fertilizers can be made from natural substances, such as compost, manure and seaweed extract. Organic fertilizers are made from non-synthetic materials. Synthetic fertilizers can be used in industrial processes. They are widely used in agriculture because they provide nutrients to plants quickly and efficiently without requiring laborious preparation methods. However, synthetic fertilizers present risks to both the environment- and human health. Synthetic fertilizers require large amounts of energy as well as water to be produced. Many synthetic fertilizers are also harmful to groundwater and water surface because of runoff. This pollution can be harmful for both wildlife and humans.

There are several types of organic fertilizers:

* Manure is produced when livestock eat nitrogen-rich foods (a plant nutrient). It is made up of bacteria and enzymes, which break down the waste into simpler compounds that can be absorbed easily by plants.

* Compost: A mixture of animal manure, grass clippings (decomposing leaves), vegetable scraps (vegetable scraps) and grass clippings (grass clippings). It is rich for nitrogen, carbon, potassium and magnesium. It's porous so it is able to retain moisture well, and slowly releases nutrients.

* Fish Emulsion – A liquid product derived from fish oils. It is similar to soap in its ability to dissolve oils and fats. It has trace elements such as phosphorous, nitrogen and nitrate.

* Seaweed Extract – A concentrated solution containing minerals extracted from kelp. It is rich in vitamins A, C and iodine as well as iron.

* Guano - Excreta from amphibians and seabirds. It contains nitrogen, sulfur, chloride and carbon.

* Blood Meal - The remains of animals slaughtered. It is rich with protein, making it useful for feeding poultry or other animals. It also has trace minerals such as phosphorous, potassium, nitrogen and other nutrients.

To make organic fertilizer, combine equal parts of manure, compost, and/or fish emulsion. Mix well. If you don’t own all three ingredients, one can be substituted for the other. For example, if you only have access to the fish emulsion, you can mix 1 part of fish emulsion with two parts of compost.

Apply the fertilizer to the soil by using a shovel and tiller. One quarter cup of the fertilizer should be spread per square foot. You'll need to add fertilizer every two weeks until new growth appears.
