FAQ
Can I grow fruit tree in a pot?
Yes! Yes, pots are possible to grow fruit trees if space is tight. You should make sure that your pot has drainage holes to keep excess moisture from rotting the tree. Also, ensure the pot is deep enough to hold the root ball. This will prevent the tree from being stressed.
How can I find out what type of soil my house has?
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. Soil testing is another option. These tests assess the soil's nutritional content.
What is a planting schedule?
A planting calendar is a list of plants that should be planted at different times throughout the year. 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. Later spring crops include cucumbers, squash, and summer beans. Fall crops include carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and potatoes.
What is the minimum space required to grow vegetables?
A good rule of thumb is that one square foot of soil requires 1/2 pound of seed. So if you have an area of 10 feet by 10 feet (3 meters by 3 meters), you'll need 100 pounds of seeds.

How To
Basil growing tips
Basil is one herb you can use to make many different dishes in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavouring dishes, as well as adding flavor to soups and sauces, pasta, and desserts. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.
-
Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. If you want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. Plant the seeds in small pots that are 1/2 inch deep. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination can take up to ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. As needed, add more potting mixture. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
-
After the danger of frost has passed, apply a thick layer of mulch over the top of the plants. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
