FAQ
Which seeds should you start indoors?
The best seed for starting indoors is a tomato seed. Tomatoes can be grown quickly and they bear fruit all year. When growing tomatoes in pots, be careful when transplanting them into the ground. If you plant too early, the soil may dry out, which could cause the roots to rot. You should also be aware of diseases like bacterial Wilt that can quickly kill your plants.
What is the purpose of a planting calendar?
A planting schedule is a list listing the dates when plants should be planted. The goal of the planting calendar is to increase plant growth while minimizing stress. 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 and cabbage, broccoli, cauliflowers, kale, potatoes, and others.
What is the difference between hydroponic gardening and aquaponic gardening?
Hydroponic gardening uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil to feed plants. Aquaponics is a system that combines fish tanks and plants to create an ecosystem that is self-sufficient. It's like having a farm right in your backyard.
Is it possible to grow vegetables indoors?
Yes, you can grow vegetables indoors during winter. You will need a greenhouse or grow lighting. Make sure to check with local laws before doing this.
What vegetables can you grow together?
Because they are both fond of similar soil conditions and temperatures, it is easy to grow peppers and tomatoes together. They complement each other well since tomatoes need heat to ripen while peppers require cooler temperatures for optimal flavor. You can try planting them together by starting seeds indoors six weeks before transplanting them outdoors. When the weather is warm, transplant the pepper and tomato plants outside.

How To
Use organic fertilizers in your garden
Organic fertilizers are made with natural substances like compost, manure, seaweed extract and blood meal. The term organic refers to the use of non-synthetic materials for their production. Synthetic fertilizers can be used in industrial processes. Because they are quick and efficient, synthetic fertilizers are popular in agriculture. They don't require laborious preparation. Synthetic fertilizers can pose risks to the environment and human health. In addition, they require large amounts of energy and water to produce. Synthetic fertilizers also pollute surface and groundwater through runoff. This pollution is detrimental to humans and wildlife alike.
There are many organic fertilizers available:
* Manure - is made when livestock eat nitrogen (a plant food nutrient). It has bacteria and enzymes that help to break down the waste, resulting in simple compounds that are easy for plants to absorb.
* Compost is a mixture of vegetable scraps and grass clippings, animal manure, and decaying leaves. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, boron, molybdenum, chlorine, and carbon. It is highly porous, so it holds moisture well and releases nutrients slowly.
* Fish Emulsion: A liquid product derived primarily from fish oil. It is similar to soap in its ability to dissolve oils and fats. It also contains trace elements, phosphorous and nitrogen.
* Seaweed Oil - A concentrated mixture of minerals taken from kelp, red and brown algae, as well as green algae. It's a great source of vitamins A and C as well as iodine and iron.
* Guano - Excreta from amphibians and seabirds. It contains nitrogen, sulfur, chloride and carbon.
* Blood Meal: The remains of animal carcasses. It is rich in protein which is useful for feeding birds and other animals. It also contains phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, and trace minerals.
Make organic fertilizer by combining equal parts manure, fish emulsion, and compost. Mix thoroughly. If you don't have all three ingredients, you can substitute them one for another. If you have only access to the fish oil emulsion, then you can combine 1 part fish emulsion and 2 parts compost.
Apply the fertilizer to the soil by using a shovel and tiller. The fertilizer should be about 1/4 cup per square foot. You will need to add more fertilizer every two weeks until you see signs of new growth.
