FAQ
When should you plant flowers?
Spring is the best season to plant flowers. It is when the temperatures are warmer and the soil is still moist. If you live in a cold area, plant flowers only after the first frost. The ideal temperature for indoor plants is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
How often should my indoor plants be watered?
Indoor plants need to be watered every two days. It is important to maintain the humidity level in your home. Humidity is essential for healthy plants.
What is the purpose of a planting calendar?
A planting plan is a list of plants to be planted at different times each year. The goal is to maximise growth while minimizing stress. For example, early spring crops like lettuce, spinach, and peas should be sown after the last frost date. Later spring crops include cucumbers, squash, and summer beans. Fall crops include carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and potatoes.
How do I prepare the soil for a garden?
Preparing soil for a vegetable garden is easy. The first step is to remove any weeds that may be in the area where your vegetable garden will be planted. You can then add organic matter, such as composted cow manure, leaves and grass clippings. Water well, and wait for the plants to sprout.
Do I have enough space to plant a vegetable or fruit garden in my backyard?
If you don't already have a vegetable garden, you might wonder whether you'll have enough room for one. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. You just need to plan. Raised beds can be built as low as 6 inches. Or, you could use containers instead of raised beds. You'll still get lots of produce.
How can I tell what kind of soil is mine?
The color of the soil can tell you how much organic matter it contains. The soil color will tell you if it contains more organic matter than the lighter ones. Soil tests are another option. These tests can measure the soil's nutrients.

How To
Organic fertilizers for your garden
Organic fertilizers can be made from natural substances, such as compost, manure and seaweed extract. The term organic refers to the use of non-synthetic materials for their production. Synthetic fertilizers are chemical compounds used in industrial processes. These fertilizers are commonly used in agriculture, as they can provide nutrients to plants quickly without the need for complicated preparation. However, synthetic fertilizers pose risks to human health and the environment. They also require large amounts energy and water to make. Due to runoff, synthetic fertilizers can pollute both groundwater as well as surface waters. This pollution is both harmful to wildlife as well as humans.
There are many organic fertilizers available:
* Manure - is made when livestock eat nitrogen (a plant food nutrient). It contains bacteria and enzymes that break down the waste into simple compounds that plants can absorb easily.
* Compost is a mixture from vegetable scraps, grass clippings and decaying leaves. It is rich in carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium and sulfur. It is porous so it retains moisture well and releases nutrients slowly.
* Fish Emulsion - a liquid product derived from fish oil. It works similarly to soap in that it dissolves oils and fats. It also contains trace elements, phosphorous and nitrogen.
* Seaweed Oil - A concentrated mixture of minerals taken from kelp, red and brown algae, as well as green algae. It contains vitamins A and C, iron, and Iodine.
* Guano - excrement from seabirds, bats, reptiles, and amphibians. It contains nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfate, chloride, and carbon.
* Blood Meal: The remains of animal carcasses. It is rich with protein, making it useful for feeding poultry or other animals. It also contains trace minerals, phosphorus and potassium.
To make organic fertilizer, combine equal parts of manure, compost, and/or fish emulsion. Mix well. If you don’t have access, you can mix one ingredient with the other. For example, if you only have access to the fish emulsion, you can mix 1 part of fish emulsion with two parts of compost.
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the soil with a shovel, or tiller. About a quarter of a cup of the fertilizer is needed per square foot. You will need more fertilizer to see signs and growth every two weeks.
