FAQ

What's the difference?

Hydroponic gardening uses nutrients-rich water 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 a farm right in your backyard.


Can I grow fruit trees inside pots?

Yes! Yes! Make sure your pot is drained to prevent the tree from getting rotted by excess moisture. The pot should be deep enough to hold the rootball. This will help prevent stress on the tree.


Which layout is best for vegetable gardens?

It all depends on where you live. If you live in the city, you should plant vegetables together for easy harvesting. If you live in rural areas, space your plants to maximize yield.


Can I grow vegetables indoors

Yes, it is possible to grow vegetables in a greenhouse during winter. You will need to purchase a greenhouse or grow lights. Before buying a greenhouse, check with your local laws.


What vegetables are good to grow together and what are the best?

Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. Both are great companions as tomatoes require heat to ripen, while peppers need cooler temperatures to achieve their best flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. Once the weather warms up, transplant the tomato and pepper plants outdoors.


What should you do first when you start a garden?

The first step to starting a garden is to prepare it. This includes adding organic matter like composted cow manure, grass clippings leaves, straw, and so on, which will help to provide plant nutrients. Next, plant seedlings or seeds in the prepared holes. Then, water well.


What is the minimum space required to grow vegetables?

It is best to remember that 1/2 pound of seed will be required for every square foot. Therefore, 100 pounds of seeds is required for a surface of 10 feet x 10 feet (3 m x 3 m).
