FAQ
How often do I need to water my indoor plants?
Indoor plants need watering every two days. It is important to maintain the humidity level in your home. For healthy plants, humidity is vital.
How can I tell what kind of soil is mine?
The color of the soil can tell you how much organic matter it contains. Organic matter is more abundant in dark soils than those with lighter colors. You can also do soil tests. These tests can measure the soil's nutrients.
What month is best for starting a vegetable or fruit garden?
Planting vegetables in April and June is the best time. 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.
How do you prepare soil for a vegetable gardening?
Preparing soil for a vegetable garden is easy. First, remove all weeds in the area where you plan to plant vegetables. Add organic matter such as leaves, composted manure or grass clippings, straw, wood chips, and then water. After watering, wait for plants to sprout.
What is the best vegetable gardening layout?
The best vegetable garden layout depends on where you live. For easy harvesting, it is best to plant vegetables in the same area as your home. If you live in a rural location, you will need to space your plants out for maximum yield.
What vegetables are good to grow together and what are the best?
Growing tomatoes and peppers together is excellent because they both like similar temperatures and soil conditions. They can complement each other because tomatoes require heat to mature, and peppers require lower temperatures for their optimal flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
When should you plant flowers?
Planting flowers in spring is easier when the temperature is lower and the soil remains moist. If you live in a cold area, plant flowers only after the first frost. The ideal temperature for indoor plants is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

How To
Organic fertilizers are available for garden use
Organic fertilizers include manure (compost), fish emulsions, seaweed extracts, blood meal, and compost. Organic fertilizers are made from non-synthetic materials. Synthetic fertilizers include chemicals used in industrial processes. Because they are quick and efficient, synthetic fertilizers are popular in agriculture. They don't require laborious preparation. Synthetic fertilizers can pose risks to the environment and human health. Synthetic fertilizers require large amounts of energy as well as water to be produced. Runoff from synthetic fertilizers can also pollute groundwater and surface water. This pollution is both harmful to wildlife as well as humans.
There are many types of organic fertilizers.
* Manure is created when livestock eat foods containing nitrogen (a nutrient for plants). It has bacteria and enzymes that help to break down the waste, resulting in simple compounds that are easy for plants to absorb.
* Compost - A mixture of grass clippings from the lawn, decaying leaves, vegetable scraps, and animal dung. It is rich for nitrogen, carbon, potassium and magnesium. It's porous so it is able to retain moisture well, and slowly releases nutrients.
* Fish Emulsion – A liquid product derived from fish oils. It is similar to soap in its ability to dissolve oils and fats. It also contains trace elements like phosphorous, Nitrogen, and other elements.
* Seaweed Oil - A concentrated mixture of minerals taken from kelp, red and brown algae, as well as green algae. It's a great source of vitamins A and C as well as iodine and iron.
* Guano is excrement from amphibians, seabirds, bats and reptiles. It contains nitrogen, sulfur, chloride and carbon.
* Blood Meal, the remains from slaughtered animals. It is rich with protein, making it useful for feeding poultry or other animals. It also has trace minerals such as phosphorous, potassium, nitrogen and other nutrients.
Make organic fertilizer by combining equal parts manure, fish emulsion, and compost. Mix well. If you don’t possess all three ingredients you can substitute one for the other. If you have only access to the fish oil emulsion, then you can combine 1 part fish emulsion and 2 parts compost.
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the soil with a shovel, or tiller. The fertilizer should be about 1/4 cup per square foot. You will need to add more fertilizer every two weeks until you see signs of new growth.
