FAQ
How can I find out what type of soil my house has?
The color of the soil can tell you how much organic matter it contains. More organic matter is found in darker soils than in lighter soils. Soil tests are another option. These tests are used to determine the quantity of nutrients in soil.
Which seeds should you start indoors?
A tomato seed makes the best seed for indoor planting. Tomatoes can be grown quickly and they bear fruit all year. If you are growing tomatoes in pots, take care when you transplant them to the ground. If you plant too early, the soil may dry out, which could cause the roots to rot. Plant diseases like bacterial disease can quickly kill plants.
How much space do vegetable gardens need?
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 a planting calendar?
A planting plan is a list of plants to be planted at different times each year. The goal is to maximize growth while minimizing stress for the plant. The last frost date should be used to sow early spring crops, such as spinach, lettuce, and beans. Squash, cucumbers, and summer beans are some of the later spring crops. The fall crops include potatoes and carrots.
What's the difference?
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 your farm right in your home.
How many hours of light does a plant need?
It depends upon the type of plant. Some plants require 12 hours of direct sunlight per day. Others prefer 8 hours in indirect sunlight. Vegetables require at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour period.

How To
Organic fertilizers for garden use
Organic fertilizers can be made from natural substances, such as compost, manure and seaweed extract. Non-synthetic materials are used in the production of organic fertilizers. Synthetic fertilizers can be used in industrial processes. Synthetic fertilizers are used widely in agriculture as they supply nutrients quickly and efficiently to plants without the need for laborious preparation. However, synthetic fertilizers present risks to both the environment- and human health. Synthetic fertilizers require large amounts of energy as well as water to be produced. Many synthetic fertilizers are also harmful to groundwater and water surface because of runoff. This pollution is harmful to wildlife and humans.
There are many kinds of organic fertilizers.
* Manure is produced when livestock eat nitrogen-rich foods (a plant nutrient). It is made up of bacteria and enzymes, which break down the waste into simpler compounds that can be absorbed easily by plants.
* Compost - A mixture of grass clippings from the lawn, decaying leaves, vegetable scraps, and animal dung. It is high in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as well as calcium, magnesium, sulfur. It's porous so it is able to retain moisture well, and slowly releases nutrients.
* Fish Emulsion is a liquid product made from fish oil. It dissolves fats and oils in a similar way to soap. It contains trace elements and phosphorous as well as nitrogen and nitrogen.
* Seaweed Oil - A concentrated mixture of minerals taken from kelp, red and brown algae, as well as green algae. It is a good source of vitamins A, C, iron, and iodine.
* Guano, excrement taken from amphibians, bats, reptiles and seabirds. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium as well as sodium, magnesium, sulfate and chloride.
* Blood Meal is the meat and bones of animals that have been slaughtered. It is high in protein, making it suitable for feeding poultry and other livestock. It also contains phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, and trace minerals.
For organic fertilizer mix equal amounts of manure, compost and/or fishemulsion. Mix thoroughly. If you don’t have access, you can mix one ingredient with the other. For example, you could mix 1 part of the fishemulsion with 2 parts of compost if only you have access to fish emulsion.
Use a shovel to evenly distribute the fertilizer over the soil. One quarter cup of the fertilizer should be spread per square foot. You'll need to add fertilizer every two weeks until new growth appears.
