FAQ
How big is a vegetable gardening space?
The rule of thumb is to use 1/2 pound seed per square foot. Therefore, 100 pounds of seeds is required for a surface of 10 feet x 10 feet (3 m x 3 m).
When to plant flowers
Planting flowers in spring is easier when the temperature is lower and the soil remains moist. If you live in a cold area, plant flowers only after the first frost. The ideal temperature to grow plants indoors is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
What vegetables are good to grow together?
Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. They work well together as tomatoes need heat to ripen and peppers need lower temperatures for optimal flavor. If you want to try growing them together, start seeds indoors about six weeks before planting them. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
How do you prepare soil for a vegetable gardening?
It's easy to prepare the soil for a vegetable gardening. First, remove all weeds in the area where you plan to plant vegetables. After that, add organic material such as composted soil, leaves, grass clips, straw or wood chips. Finally, water well and wait until plants sprout.
When should you plant herbs?
Herbs should be planted during springtime when soil temperatures reach 55degF. For best results, plant them in full sunlight. Plant basil indoors by placing seedlings into pots containing potting mix. Keep them out of direct sun 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 a planting schedule?
A planting calendar is a list of plants that should be planted at different times throughout the year. The goal is to maximize growth while minimizing stress for the plant. Early spring crops like spinach, lettuce, and peas must be sow after the last frost date. Later spring crops include cucumbers, squash, and summer beans. Fall crops include carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and potatoes.

How To
How to apply fertilizers to the folium
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse weather conditions. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.
Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:
-
Be sure to understand what type of fertilizer is needed. Some products only contain one element, while others may include multiple elements. If you are unsure which product you require, ask your local nursery or garden center.
-
Carefully follow the instructions. Before spraying, be sure to read and understand the label. Spraying near windows and doors can cause damage to the structure. Keep away from children and pets
-
If possible, use the hose attachment. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
-
Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. Mixing different types can result in harmful effects like burning or staining leaves.
-
Spray at least five ft from the trunk. It is important to leave at least three foot between the tree trunks, and the edge of any area you intend to apply the fertilizer.
-
Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. Sunlight can cause light-sensitive chemicals in fertilizer to disintegrate.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly over the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
-
Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
