FAQ
Which vegetables are best to grow together?
Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. They work well together as tomatoes need heat to ripen and peppers need lower temperatures for optimal flavor. You can try planting them together by starting seeds indoors six weeks before transplanting them outdoors. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
What is the difference between aquaponic gardening or hydroponic?
Hydroponic gardening uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil to feed plants. Aquaponics is a system that combines fish tanks and plants to create an ecosystem that is self-sufficient. It's almost like having a farm right at home.
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. For example, if you have a 10 foot by 10 foot area (3 meters by three meters), 100 pounds of seeds will be required.

How To
Basil growing tips
Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could use in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. These are some great tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annual plant that will only survive one season if placed in the correct place. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. If you want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two weeks before the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination can take up to ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. Add more potting mix as needed. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
-
After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To check how much water your plants need, you can use a rain gauge. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
-
Pick your basil when it reaches its prime. To encourage bushier growth, pick the leaves often.
-
Use paper towels to dry leaves. Place the leaves in glass jars, bags or in the refrigerator.
