FAQ
How big is a vegetable gardening space?
One square foot of soil will require 1/2 pound of seeds. This is a good rule of thumb. For example, if you have a 10 foot by 10 foot area (3 meters by three meters), 100 pounds of seeds will be required.
How do I know what type of soil I have?
The color of the soil can tell you how much organic matter it contains. Organic matter is more abundant in dark soils than those with lighter colors. Soil tests are another option. These tests are used to determine the quantity of nutrients in soil.
Which is the best layout for a vegetable garden?
It all depends on where you live. For easy harvesting, it is best to plant vegetables in the same area as your home. However, if you live in a rural area, you should space out your plants for maximum yield.

How To
How to Start A Garden
It's much easier than many people think to start a gardening business. There are many methods to get started with a garden.
One option is to buy seeds at your local nursery. This is probably the best way to start a backyard garden.
Another option is to purchase a plot of land for a community-based garden. Community gardens are often located close to parks and schools. These plots are often equipped with raised beds that can be used for vegetable growing.
If you want to start a garden with little effort, choose a container garden. It involves buying a small planter or pot and filling it up with dirt. You will then plant the seedlings.
You also have the option to purchase a ready-made gardening kit. Kits include everything needed to get started. Some kits include tools and supplies.
There are no rules when it comes to starting a garden. You can do anything that works for you. Be sure to keep these basic guidelines in mind.
Decide what type of garden you want. Do you want a large garden or a small one? Would you rather have a few herbs grown in pots?
Next, choose where you want to plant your garden. Do you plan to use a container or will you plant in the ground? Or will you be planting in the ground?
Once you know which type of garden you want to build, you can begin shopping for materials.
Consider how much space is available. You may not have enough space for a large garden if you live in a small apartment.
Once you've determined the location of your garden, it is time to get started. The first step is to prepare your area.
This means removing any weeds and debris. Next, dig a hole to accommodate each plant. The holes should be deep enough that the roots don't touch the sides during growth.
Topsoil or compost can be used to fill the gaps. Add organic matter to help retain moisture.
After clearing the site, add plants. Take care not to crowd the plants. They require space to grow.
As plants grow, continue to add organic matter. This helps prevent disease, and keeps the soil nourished.
When you see new growth, fertilize the plants. Fertilizer encourages strong root systems. It promotes faster and more robust growth.
Continue watering the plants until they reach maturity. When this happens, harvest the fruits and enjoy!
