FAQ
When to plant herbs
When the soil temperature is 55°F, herbs should be planted in spring. To get the best results, they should be planted in full sun. To grow basil indoors, place seedlings in pots filled with potting mix and keep them out of direct sunlight until they sprout leaves. After plants begin to grow, you can move them into indirect sunlight. After about three weeks, transplant them to individual containers and continue to water them regularly.
What is the best way to determine what kind of soil I have?
You can tell by looking at the color of the dirt. Darker soils contain more organic matter than lighter-colored ones. Another option is to test the soil. These tests measure the number of nutrients present in the soil.
Which seeds should I start indoors and which ones should I avoid?
A tomato seed is the best seed to start indoors. Tomatoes can be grown quickly and they bear fruit all year. When growing tomatoes in pots, be careful when transplanting them into the ground. You should not plant tomatoes too soon. The soil can dry out, and the roots could rot. Be aware of diseases like bacterial wilt which can quickly kill plants.
What size space is required for a vegetable garden?
A good rule of thumb is that one square foot of soil requires 1/2 pound of seed. For example, if you have a 10 foot by 10 foot area (3 meters by three meters), 100 pounds of seeds will be required.
What kind of lighting works best for growing plants indoors?
Florescent lights work well for growing plants indoors because they emit less heat than incandescent bulbs. They provide steady lighting without dimming or flickering. You can find regular or compact fluorescent fluorescent bulbs. CFLs are up to 75% cheaper than traditional bulbs.
What is the best vegetable gardening layout?
Your location will determine the best layout for your vegetable garden. You should plant vegetables together if you live in a city. However, if you live in a rural area, you should space out your plants for maximum yield.
Can I grow vegetables indoors?
Yes, it's possible to grow vegetables inside during the winter months. You will need a greenhouse or grow lighting. Make sure to check with local laws before doing this.

How To
How to apply foliar fertilisers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.
When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The type of plant, how large it is, and the amount of foliage it has all affect the amount of fertilizer that is required. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.
-
It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products contain just one nutrient. Others include multiple elements. If you aren't sure what product you need, ask your local gardening center.
-
Follow the directions carefully. Before applying, please read the label. Do not spray near windows or doors because this could cause damage to the building. Keep away from children, pets.
-
If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. Turn off the nozzle after each few sprays to avoid excessive spraying.
-
Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. Mixing two different kinds can cause some harmful effects, such as burning or staining of leaves.
-
Spray at least five feet from the trunk. At least three feet should be spaced between the trunk of the tree and the edge where you plan on applying the fertilizer.
-
Wait until the sun is down before applying. Sunlight causes light sensitive chemicals in fertilizer, to breakdown.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
-
Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
