FAQ
When can you plant flowers in your garden?
Planting flowers during springtime is best when temperatures are warm and the soil feels moist. If you live in colder climates, it is best to plant flowers after the first frost. The ideal temperature indoors for plants is around 60°F.
What time should I plant herbs in my garden?
Herbs should be planted during springtime when soil temperatures reach 55degF. The best results are achieved when they are in full sunshine. Basil indoors can be grown in pots with potting mixture. They should be kept out of direct sunlight until they grow leaves. After plants begin to grow, you can move them into indirect sunlight. After three weeks, you can transplant them to individual pots and water them every day.
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. Aquaponics is like having your own farm in your home.
Is there enough space in my backyard to grow a vegetable garden.
If you don't already have a vegetable garden, you might wonder whether you'll have enough room for one. 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. Containers can be used in place of raised beds. Either way, you'll still get plenty of produce.
How often should I water my indoor plants?
Indoor plants need watering once every two days. Watering helps maintain humidity levels inside the house. For healthy plants, humidity is vital.
What is the best way to determine what kind of soil I have?
By looking at the dirt's color, you can tell. Organic matter is more abundant in dark soils than those with lighter colors. Another option is to test the soil. These tests determine the amount of nutrients in the soil.
Which seeds should you start indoors?
A tomato seed is the best for indoor gardening. Tomatoes are easy to grow, and they produce fruit all year round. Plant tomatoes in pots and be careful about putting them in the ground. Planting tomatoes too early can lead to soil drying out which could lead roots to rot. Also, be aware of diseases such as bacterial wilt, which can kill plants quickly.
