FAQ
Which month is the best to start a vegetable gardening?
From April to June is the best season for vegetables. This is when the soil gets warmest, and plants tend to grow quickly. If you live somewhere cold, it is best to wait until July or august.
Can I grow fruit tree in a pot?
Yes! Yes, pots are possible to grow fruit trees if space is tight. You should make sure that your pot has drainage holes to keep excess moisture from rotting the tree. The pot should be deep enough to hold the rootball. This will protect the tree from being stressed.
Do I have enough space to plant a vegetable or fruit garden in my backyard?
If you don’t yet have a vegetable gardening, you might wonder if it will be possible. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It only takes some planning. For example, you could build raised beds only 6 inches high. Or, you could use containers instead of raised beds. You'll still get lots of produce.
What is the difference between hydroponic gardening and aquaponic gardening?
Hydroponic gardening uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil to feed plants. Aquaponics combines fish tanks with plants to create a self-sufficient ecosystem. Aquaponics is like having your own farm in your home.
When should you plant flowers?
Planting flowers in spring is easier when the temperature is lower and the soil remains moist. If you live somewhere cold, planting flowers should be done before the first frost. The ideal temperature for indoor gardening is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the best vegetable garden layout?
It all depends on where you live. Plant vegetables together if your house is in a busy area. However, if you live in a rural area, you should space out your plants for maximum yield.
