FAQ
Which vegetables are best to grow together?
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. To grow them together, you can start seeds indoors around six weeks before planting. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
Does my backyard have enough room for a vegetable garden?
You might be wondering if you have enough space to grow a vegetable garden if you don't have one. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. You just need to plan. Raised beds can be built as low as 6 inches. You could also use containers to replace raised beds. You will still have plenty of produce, regardless of which method you choose.
What is the difference between aquaponic gardening or hydroponic?
Hydroponic gardening makes use of nutrient-rich water rather than soil to grow plants. Aquaponics combines fish tanks with plants to create a self-sufficient ecosystem. You can have your farm right at your house!
Can I grow fruit trees in pots?
Yes! If space is limited, you can grow fruit trees in pots. Ensure your pot has drainage holes so excess moisture won't rot the tree. Make sure the pot is deep enough for the root ball to be held. This will protect the tree from being stressed.
How can I find out what type of soil my house has?
You can tell by looking at the color of the dirt. You will find more organic matter in darker soils that those of lighter colors. Another option is to test the soil. These tests measure the number of nutrients present in the soil.
How big is a vegetable gardening space?
One square foot of soil will require 1/2 pound of seeds. This is a good rule of thumb. You will need 100 pounds of seed if your area is 10 feet by 10 foot (3 meters by 3 metres).
