FAQ
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. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. Once the weather cools down, transplant the pepper or tomato plants outdoors.
How can you prepare the soil to grow vegetables in your garden?
Preparing soil is simple for a vegetable garden. First, get rid of all weeds. Next, add organic matter like composted manure and leaves, grass clippings or straw. After watering, wait for plants to sprout.
Do I need any special equipment?
Non, really. All you need are a trowel or shovel and a watering can.

How To
How to apply foliar fertilisers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. Foliar fertilizers are used to provide nutrients to plants. They also help to increase photosynthesis and water retention, resist disease, protect against pests and promote growth. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.
Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.
