FAQ
Which layout is best for vegetable gardens?
The best vegetable garden layout depends on where you live. You should plant vegetables together if you live in a city. You should plant your vegetables in groups if you live outside of the city. This will ensure maximum yield.
Which type of lighting best suits indoor plant growth?

Fluorescent bulbs come in both compact fluorescent (CFL) and regular varieties. CFLs can use up to 75% more energy than traditional bulbs.
What size space is required for a vegetable garden?
A good rule of thumb is that one square foot of soil requires 1/2 pound of seed. For example, if you have a 10 foot by 10 foot area (3 meters by three meters), 100 pounds of seeds will be required.

A planting schedule is a list listing the dates when plants should be planted. The goal is for plants to grow at their best while minimizing stress. So, for example, spring crops such as lettuce, spinach, or peas should not be sown before the last frost date. Cucumbers, squash, and spring beans are later crops. The fall crops include potatoes and carrots.
What month is the best time to start a garden?
The best time to plant vegetables is from April through June. This is when the soil is warmest and plants grow fastest. You might want to wait until July/August if you live in a cold area.
How many hours of light does a plant need?
It depends on which plant it is. Some plants need 12 hours per day of direct sunlight. Others prefer 8 hours in indirect sunlight. Most vegetables need at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour time period.

How to apply fertilizers to the folium
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. They provide nutrients for the plant as well as improving photosynthesis, water retention, disease resistance, protection against pests, and promote growth and development. They can be used to treat any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.
Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for soil pollution. The type of soil, the size and amount of foliage, as well as the type of plant will all determine the fertilizer required. Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. These steps will help you fertilize your garden.
