FAQ
Can I grow vegetables in my backyard?
You might be wondering if you have enough space to grow a vegetable garden if you don't have one. The answer to that question is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It only takes some planning. For example, you could build raised beds only 6 inches high. You can also use containers as raised beds. You'll still be able to get plenty of produce in any way.
How much light does a tree need?
It depends on the plant. Some plants require 12 hours of direct sunshine per day. Others prefer 8 to 10 hours of indirect sun. Most vegetables require 10 hours direct sunlight in a 24-hour period.
What is your favorite vegetable garden layout?
It is important to consider where you live when planning your vegetable garden. You should plant vegetables together if you live in a city. For maximum yield, however, it is best to space your plants if you are in a rural area.
How long can I keep an indoor plant alive?
Indoor plants can survive for many years. However, it's important to repot your plant every few months to help promote new growth. Repotting is simple. Remove the old soil and place fresh compost.
What is the minimum space required to grow vegetables?
A good rule of thumb is that one square foot of soil requires 1/2 pound of seed. Therefore, 100 pounds of seeds is required for a surface of 10 feet x 10 feet (3 m x 3 m).
What is the purpose of a planting calendar?
A planting calendar is a list that lists plants that should be planted at specific times throughout the year. The goal is to maximise growth while minimizing stress. The last frost date should be used to sow early spring crops, such as spinach, lettuce, and beans. Squash, cucumbers, and summer beans are some of the later spring crops. Fall crops include carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and potatoes.
