FAQ

Which vegetables are best to grow together?

It is possible to grow tomatoes and peppers together, as they like the same soil conditions and temperatures. They work well together as tomatoes need heat to ripen and peppers need lower temperatures for optimal flavor. To grow them together, you can start seeds indoors around six weeks before planting. After the weather has warmed up, you can transplant the pepper plants and tomatoes outside.


What month should I start a vegetable garden?

The best time to plant vegetables are from April through June. This is when the soil gets warmest, and plants tend to grow quickly. If you live outside of a warm climate, you might be better off waiting until July or August.


Can I plant fruit trees in pots

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers can be applied directly to plants' leaves by spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used to treat any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.

Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:

  • Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products only have one nutrient while others contain multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Before applying, please read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Mixing different types foliar fertilizers can be dangerous. Mixing two different kinds can cause some harmful effects, such as burning or staining of leaves.
  • Spray at least five to six 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.
  • Apply the fertilizer evenly to the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Allow the fertilizer to dry completely before watering.
