FAQ
When can you plant flowers in your garden?

What size space is required for a vegetable garden?
The rule of thumb is to use 1/2 pound seed per square foot. If you have a 10-foot by 10-foot area (3m by 3m), then 100 pounds will be needed.
What is the difference in hydroponics and aquaponics?
Hydroponic gardening uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil to feed plants. Aquaponics uses fish tanks to grow plants. It's almost like having a farm right at home.
How do you prepare soil for a vegetable gardening?
Preparing soil for a vegetable garden is easy. You must first remove all weeds from the area you wish to plant vegetables. Then, add organic matter such as composted manure, leaves, grass clippings, straw, or wood chips. Let the plants grow by watering well.
What month is best for starting a vegetable or fruit garden?
Planting vegetables in April and June is the best time. This is when the soil is warmest and plants grow fastest. You might want to wait until July/August if you live in a cold area.
Can I grow fruit tree in a pot?
Yes! Yes! You should make sure that your pot has drainage holes to keep excess moisture from rotting the tree. Also ensure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the root ball. This will keep the tree from becoming stressed.
When to plant herbs?
Spring should be when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees F. Plant them in full sun for best results. Basil indoors can be grown in pots with potting mixture. They should be kept out of direct sunlight until they grow leaves. When plants are growing, place them in bright indirect lighting. After three weeks, you can transplant them to individual pots and water them every day.
