FAQ
What is the difference between hydroponic gardening and aquaponic gardening?
Hydroponic gardening makes use of nutrient-rich water rather than soil to grow plants. Aquaponics blends fish tanks with plants to create a self sufficient ecosystem. You can have your farm right at your house!
Which type of lighting is best for indoor plants?
Because they emit less heat that incandescents, floriescent lights are a good choice for growing indoor plants. They provide constant lighting that doesn't flicker or dimm. Fluorescent bulbs can be purchased in regular and compact fluorescent versions. CFLs require 75% less energy than traditional bulbs.
Are pots possible to grow fruit trees?
Yes! If you have limited space, fruit trees can be grown indoors. Ensure your pot has drainage holes so excess moisture won't rot the tree. Also, ensure the pot is deep enough to hold the root ball. This will help prevent stress on the tree.
What seeds should be started indoors?
The best seed for starting indoors is a tomato seed. Tomatoes are easy to grow, and they produce fruit all year round. Plant tomatoes in pots and be careful about putting them in the ground. Planting tomatoes too early can lead to soil drying out which could lead roots to rot. Also, be aware of diseases such as bacterial wilt, which can kill plants quickly.
When to plant herbs
Spring should be when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees F. They should be in full sun to get the best results. For basil indoors, plant seedlings in potting mix-filled pots and let them grow until they produce leaves. Once plants start growing, move them into bright indirect light. After approximately three weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Continue to water them as needed.
What equipment do I need to grow vegetables?
Non, really. You only need a trowel, shovel, watering can, and a rake.

If you live in a cold climate, you will have to protect your plants from frost. Use straw bales or plastic mulch to cover your plants.

Soak the roots thoroughly in water. Afterward, let the excess water drain back into the ground.
