FAQ
What is a plant calendar?
A planting schedule is a list listing the dates when plants should be planted. The goal is for plants to grow at their best while minimizing stress. The last frost date should be used to sow early spring crops, such as spinach, lettuce, and beans. Cucumbers, squash, and spring beans are later crops. Fall crops include carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and potatoes.
Can I grow fruit tree in a pot?
Yes! If you have limited space, fruit trees can be grown indoors. Your pot should have drainage holes to ensure that the tree doesn't get rotted by excess moisture. Also ensure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the root ball. This will help prevent stress on the tree.
How much light does a tree need?
It depends on the type of plant. Some plants need 12 hours per day of direct sunlight. Some plants prefer 8 hours of direct sunlight. The majority of vegetables require 10 hours of direct sunshine per 24 hour period.

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" means that they are produced using non-synthetic material. Synthetic fertilizers are chemicals that are used in industrial processes. Synthetic fertilizers are used widely in agriculture as they supply nutrients quickly and efficiently to plants without the need for laborious preparation. Synthetic fertilizers can pose risks to the environment and human health. Synthetic fertilizers require large amounts of energy as well as water to be produced. Synthetic fertilizers also pollute surface and groundwater through runoff. This is a problem for wildlife and humans alike.
There are several types of organic fertilizers:
* Manure is produced when livestock eat nitrogen-rich foods (a plant nutrient). It contains bacteria, enzymes, and other substances that break down the waste into simple compounds which can be easily absorbed by plants.
* Compost - a mixture of decaying leaves, grass clippings, vegetable scraps, and animal manure. It is rich with nitrogen, phosphorus. potassium, calcium. magnesium. sulfur. iron. copper. manganese. molybdenum. chlorine. and carbon. It is highly porous, so it holds moisture well and releases nutrients slowly.
* Fish Emulsion is a liquid product made from fish oil. It can dissolve oils and fats, similar to soap. It contains trace elements and phosphorous as well as nitrogen and nitrogen.
* Seaweed extract - A concentrated solution of minerals from kelp and red algae. It is rich in vitamins A, C and iodine as well as iron.
* Guano is the excrement of seabirds and bats. It contains nitrogen, sulfur, chloride and carbon.
* Blood Meal is the meat and bones of animals that have been slaughtered. It contains protein, which makes it useful for feeding poultry and other animals. It also contains trace mineral, phosphorus as well as potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
To make organic fertilizer, combine equal parts of manure, compost, and/or fish emulsion. Mix well. If you don’t possess all three ingredients you can substitute one for 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.
Apply the fertilizer to the soil by using a shovel and tiller. The fertilizer should be about 1/4 cup per square foot. To see signs of new growth, you'll need more fertilizer each two weeks.
