This blog will guide beginners and let them know how to set up a farming system inside their homes.
•Initial Steps to opt for Vegetable Garden.
Choosing a vegetable garden for your home may contribute a lot to your dining. Plant the one which you and your family prefer the most. Take a start with small gardening so that you may get familiar with the time to make it a bigger one.
• Selection of Spot:
Making the right decision for your home garden is as same as you are going to buy Real Estate. Make a proper survey of your lawn, which area catches the more sun rays. Almost all vegetables need 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. In the case of a shady area, you can look for plants that don’t require much sunlight. Also, look for a place that is flatter than sloppy as it may be convenient in your gardening.
•Soil Maintenance:
For obtaining the best results from gardening, the soil should be fertile. The more fertile the soil the better the vegetables will grow. When making for the first time, the soil may be acidic or alkaline. Add organic matter, a 2-3-inch layer of compost, decayed leaves, dry grass clippings, or old manure to the soil when you start digging or making a new bed. Use a sharp spade or spading fork to gently turn the top 8 to 12 inches of soil.
•Pick your Plants:
It will be more convenient for you to start with fresh eating vegetables. But first, you can surf the internet to check the climatic condition for each vegetable as plants adapt to the climate, sunlight, and soil. In early spring grow lettuce greens, peas, radishes, carrots, and broccoli. After you’ve harvested your cool-weather crops, plant hot-weather favorites such as tomatoes, peppers, herbs. In fall, you can harvest potatoes and cabbage.
•Provide Plenty of Water:
The composition of soil and weather conditions affects a lot to the watering process. During the first few weeks after seed germination or seedlings are transplanted, frequent watering keeps plants strong. A key to achieving a green fresh vegetable garden is to wisely water the plants for their proper growth.
•Seed or Transplants:
If one prefers to grow a plant from seeds he should be fully acknowledged about the method of sowing. As some plants can be directly sown in the garden i.e carrots, beans, and peas.On the other hand, if one likes to buy seedlings from the nursery, it will be also a good idea. Transplants will mature sooner and give you an earlier harvest than starting plants from seed.
•Pay special attention to the Garden:
After all the efforts in planting a garden special care should be taken in the following ways.
1. Nourish your garden in a proper way.
2. Resist Pest and Diseases.
3. Fight against fungal diseases.
