FAQ

What vegetables do you recommend growing 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. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. Once the weather cools down, transplant the pepper or tomato plants outdoors.


How do I know what type of soil I have?

It is easy to tell the difference by the color of your dirt. Organic matter is more abundant in dark soils than those with lighter colors. Another option is to test the soil. These tests are used to determine the quantity of nutrients in soil.


Can I grow vegetables indoors?

Yes, it's possible to grow vegetables inside during the winter months. You will need to buy a greenhouse and grow lights. Before you do this, make sure to verify the local laws.


When to plant herbs?

The ideal time to plant herbs is springtime, when the soil temperature is 55°F. For best results, plant them in full sunlight. Plant basil indoors by placing seedlings into pots containing potting mix. Keep them out of direct sun until they sprout leaves. Once plants start growing, move them into bright indirect light. After three weeks, transplant the plants to individual containers. Water them frequently.


How big is a vegetable gardening space?

It is best to remember that 1/2 pound of seed will be required for every square foot. You will need 100 pounds of seed if your area is 10 feet by 10 foot (3 meters by 3 metres).


Do I need to buy special equipment to grow vegetables?

Not really. All you need to do is use a shovel, trowels, watering containers, and maybe even a rake.


What's the best way to keep my indoor plant alive?

Indoor plants can last for many years. To ensure new growth, it's important that you repot indoor plants every few years. Repotting is easy. All you have to do is remove the soil and put in fresh compost.
