FAQ
Which type of lighting best suits indoor plant growth?
Because they emit less heat that incandescents, floriescent lights are a good choice for growing indoor plants. They are also consistent in lighting, and do not flicker or dimm. Fluorescent bulbs come in both compact fluorescent (CFL) and regular varieties. CFLs consume up to 75% less electricity than traditional bulbs.
Which seeds can be planted indoors?
The best seed for starting indoors is a tomato seed. Tomatoes are very easy to grow and produce fruit year-round. 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.
Which is the best layout for a vegetable garden?

How do I determine the type of soil that I have?
It is easy to tell the difference by the color of your dirt. The soil color will tell you if it contains more organic matter than the lighter ones. Soil testing is another option. These tests can measure the soil's nutrients.
When can you plant flowers in your garden?
When the weather is milder and the soil has a good moisture content, spring is the best time to plant flowers. If you live in colder climates, it is best to plant flowers after the first frost. The ideal temperature for indoor plants is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

How To
Use organic fertilizers in your garden
Organic fertilizers include manure (compost), fish emulsions, seaweed extracts, blood meal, and compost. Organic fertilizers are made from non-synthetic materials. Synthetic fertilizers contain chemicals used in industrial processes. Because they are quick and efficient, synthetic fertilizers are popular in agriculture. They don't require laborious preparation. However, synthetic fertilizers pose risks to human health and the environment. In addition, they require large amounts of energy and water to produce. Moreover, many synthetic fertilizers pollute groundwater and surface waters due to runoff. This is a problem for wildlife and humans alike.
There are several kinds of organic fertilisers:
* 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: A mixture of animal manure, grass clippings (decomposing leaves), vegetable scraps (vegetable scraps) and grass clippings (grass clippings). It is rich for nitrogen, carbon, potassium and magnesium. It's porous so it is able to retain moisture well, and slowly releases nutrients.
* Fish Emulsion - a liquid product derived from fish oil. It is similar to soap in its ability to dissolve oils and fats. It contains phosphorous, nitrogen, and trace elements.
* Seaweed extract - A concentrated solution of minerals from kelp and red algae. It provides a source of vitamins A and C, iodine, and iron.
* Guano is the excrement of seabirds and bats. It contains nitrogen and phosphorous, potassium as well sulfate, salt, chloride, carbon, sodium, magnesium and other minerals.
* Blood Meal - the remains of slaughtered animals. It is rich with protein, making it useful for feeding poultry or other animals. It also contains trace mineral, phosphorus as well as potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
To make organic fertilizer, combine equal parts of manure, compost, and/or fish emulsion. Mix well. If you don’t possess all three ingredients you can substitute one for the other. For example, if you only have access to the fish emulsion, you can mix 1 part of fish emulsion with two parts of compost.
Apply the fertilizer by spreading it evenly using a tiller or shovel. You should spread about one quarter cup of the fertilizer per square foot. To see signs of new growth, you'll need more fertilizer each two weeks.
