FAQ
What is the minimum space required to grow vegetables?
One square foot of soil will require 1/2 pound of seeds. This is a good rule of thumb. You will need 100 pounds of seed if your area is 10 feet by 10 foot (3 meters by 3 metres).
What vegetables do you recommend growing together?
Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. They are a good match since peppers need colder temperatures to produce their best flavor. You can try planting them together by starting seeds indoors six weeks before transplanting them outdoors. Once the weather warms up, transplant the tomato and pepper plants outdoors.
Can I grow fruit trees inside pots?
Yes! If you have limited space, fruit trees can be grown indoors. Your pot should have drainage holes to ensure that the tree doesn't get rotted by excess moisture. Make sure the pot is deep enough for the root ball to be held. This will prevent the tree from being stressed.
