FAQ

How do you prepare soil for a vegetable gardening?

Preparing soil for a vegetable garden is easy. You must first remove all weeds from the area you wish to plant vegetables. Add organic matter such as leaves, composted manure or grass clippings, straw, wood chips, and then water. Water well, and wait for the plants to sprout.


Can I plant fruit trees in pots

Yes! Fruit trees can be grown in pots if you're short on space. Make sure your pot is drained to prevent the tree from getting rotted by excess moisture. You should also ensure that the pot is deep sufficient to support the root ball. This will keep the tree from becoming stressed.


Which vegetables are best to grow together?

Because they are both fond of similar soil conditions and temperatures, it is easy to grow peppers and tomatoes together.
