FAQ
How do you prepare the soil for a vegetable garden?
Preparing soil to grow vegetables is very simple. The first step is to remove any weeds that may be in the area where your vegetable garden will be planted. After that, add organic material such as composted soil, leaves, grass clips, straw or wood chips. After watering, wait for plants to sprout.
Can I grow fruit trees inside pots?
Yes! If space is limited, you can grow fruit trees in pots. Make sure your pot is drained to prevent the tree from getting rotted by excess moisture. Also ensure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the root ball. This will prevent the tree from being stressed.
Does my backyard have enough space for a garden?
It's possible to wonder if you will have enough space for a vegetable or fruit garden if your current one is not available. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It's all about planning. Raised beds can be built as low as 6 inches. You can also use containers as raised beds. Either way, you'll still get plenty of produce.
What's the best way to keep my indoor plant alive?
Indoor plants can live for many years. However, it's important to repot your plant every few months to help promote new growth. Repotting is simple. Just remove the old soil, and then add fresh compost.
