FAQ
Do I need any special equipment?
Non, really. All you need is a shovel, trowel, watering can, and maybe a rake.
Are pots possible to grow fruit trees?
Yes! Yes! You should make sure that your pot has drainage holes to keep excess moisture from rotting the tree. You should also ensure that the pot is deep sufficient to support the root ball. This will keep the tree from becoming stressed.
What time should I plant herbs in my garden?
Plant herbs in spring when the soil temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit. 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 the plants have started to grow, transfer them into bright indirect sunlight. After about three weeks, transplant them to individual containers and continue to water them regularly.

How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. Basil is great for flavouring dishes, as well as adding flavor to soups and sauces, pasta, and desserts. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.
-
You should choose carefully where to place your basil. Basil is an annual plant that will only survive one season if placed in the correct place. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. If you are growing it outside, choose a spot with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination can take up to ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. Add more potting mix as needed. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. Keep the plants hydrated to avoid wilting.
-
Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. Also, use a timer to turn off the irrigation system during dry spells automatically.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. You can encourage bushier growth by picking the leaves more often.
-
The leaves can be dried on paper towels or screens. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
