FAQ
Is there enough space in my backyard to grow a vegetable garden.
It's possible to wonder if you will have enough space for a vegetable or fruit garden if your current one is not available. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It takes just a little planning. For example, you could build raised beds only 6 inches high. Or you can use containers to build raised beds. You will still get plenty of produce regardless of how you do it.
Can I grow fruit tree in a pot?
Yes! Yes, pots are possible to grow fruit trees if space is tight. Ensure your pot has drainage holes so excess moisture won't rot the tree. The pot should be deep enough to hold the rootball. This will keep the tree from becoming stressed.
When to plant herbs?
Herbs should be planted during springtime when soil temperatures reach 55degF. To get the best results, they should be planted in full sun. For basil indoors, plant seedlings in potting mix-filled pots and let them grow until they produce leaves. Once plants start growing, move them into bright indirect light. After three to four weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Keep them hydrated.
What length of time can I keep an indoor flower alive?
Indoor plants can survive for many years. It is vital to repot your plants every few months in order to encourage new growth. Repotting is simple. Just remove the old soil, and then add fresh compost.
How many hours of light does a plant need?
It depends on which plant it is. Some plants require 12 hours of direct sunshine per day. Some prefer 8 hours of indirect sunshine. Most vegetables need 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour period.
